John Methu, designated secretary-general of the Democracy for Citizens Party, discussed his confidence in Kalonzo Musyoka during a televised interview on October 11, 2026. Methu cited Musyoka’s decision to stand by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua during his controversial impeachment in 2024.
Other political leaders distanced themselves from Gachagua at that time, according to Methu. Musyoka’s support, however, stood out. Methu emphasized this as a key reason for his trust in Musyoka. The incident occurred amid heightened political tensions in Kenya.
The impeachment of Gachagua in 2024 sparked significant debate. Musyoka, leader of the Wiper Democratic Movement, chose to support Gachagua despite the political risks. Methu’s comments come as the country continues to navigate complex political dynamics. The situation reflects broader challenges in Kenyan politics, where loyalty and alignment often play critical roles.
