Homa Bay Governor and Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) National Chairperson Gladys Wanga has hit back at former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua following his recent remarks warning ODM leaders about alleged political schemes by President William Ruto.
Speaking during a public event in Kiambu County days ago, Gachagua cautioned ODM officials to tread carefully in their dealings with President Ruto, claiming the Head of State is “a tricky partner” when it comes to coalition agreements.
His remarks stirred debate within political circles, with many interpreting them as an attempt to drive a wedge between ODM and the ruling administration.
However, Wanga dismissed Gachagua’s claims, urging him to keep off ODM affairs. Addressing residents during a function in the Nyanza region, the ODM chairperson maintained that the party is fully capable of managing its internal and external political engagements without outside interference.

Wanga went further to accuse Gachagua of lacking the moral authority to advise ODM leaders, alleging that he has been engaging in questionable dealings with political aspirants.
According to her, the former Deputy President has been collecting money from individuals seeking to contest under his newly associated political outfit, instead of offering them genuine leadership and guidance.
She emphasized that ODM remains united and focused on strengthening its grassroots structures ahead of the 2027 general election. Wanga also reiterated the party’s commitment to safeguarding its political identity and resisting any attempts to undermine its influence.
The exchange highlights growing political tensions as leaders position themselves for future alliances and electoral battles. Analysts note that such public disagreements could signal deeper divisions within Kenya’s political landscape as the country inches closer to the next election cycle.
