At some point Kenyans may need to feel a little sorry for the melting political opposition in the country. As soon as they open their mouths, they look like they live in some caves under the earth and all they see there is William Ruto slapping them around and they are desperate for some saviour to throw them out of the cave.
The way they are going right now with no idea what to do next and no clue what a government actually looks like it may take Ruto himself to throw them out of that cave out of mercy for them.
Outgoing Safina party leader Paul Muite has urged his successor and 2027 presidential hopeful, Jimmy Wanjigi, to seize power from the current regime before 2027.
Speaking during a handing-over ceremony at Ngong Racecourse on Thursday, September 18, 2025, Muite said the problems bedevilling Kenyans cannot wait until 2027 when the current administration will have completed its term.
“There are things that cannot wait until the next elections. The corruption we are witnessing cannot wait for another two and a half years,” Muite stated.
He voiced his frustrations over what he termed as the continued looting of public resources under the watch of the current government.
Muite, who was a prominent figure during the 1992 second liberation movement, urged the new leadership to call for demonstrations immediately, arguing that protests are the only language the regime understands.
“The issue of corruption cannot wait. What I am saying is that the new leadership, together with Gen Zs, needs to lead maandamano tomorrow,” he added.
The handing-over ceremony, held during Safina’s National Delegates Conference (NDC), turned into a rallying call. Wanjigi, after being officially handed party leadership, echoed Muite’s sentiments, insisting that the current regime should not serve until 2027. He dismissed the popular “wantam” slogan, saying it should instead be “half term”.
As part of the symbolic handover, Muite passed along party assets, including the members’ registry, the party constitution, and a staff resembling the one used by Moses to lead the Israelites out of the wilderness, signifying leadership transfer to a younger generation.
Muite, dressed in a Gen Z-inspired style, said his attire was a symbol that the next revolution would be led by young people.
At some point the opposition in Kenya felt they were knocking at the doors of State House and were just about to break inside and take Ruto to Kamiti Prison to serve a life sentence for being at State House when there are five presidents already elected by Kenyans just sitting outside reduced to endless heckling of him in the media.
At that time young Kenyans leading their Gen Z movement were making concrete and respected demands for end to Ruto imposing taxes on Kenyans and refusing to pay attention to what the citizens were asking him to do with cost of living.
The nation was on fire and rightly so and the opposition leaders like Kalonzo Musyoka, Rigathi Gachagua and Martha Karua were pretending they are the leaders and champions of the Gen Z political uprising in Kenya. Everybody including the Gen Z youth knew how fake those opposition leaders are and that is why they took matters into their own hands.
Now the Gen Z actions and maandamanos are not in the news because those young Kenyans are not allowing themselves to be dragged around like anybody’s cattle to go drink water in dry rivers where there is nothing. Young Kenyans know their politicians very well and that includes the opposition leaders who scream for power all the time and never do anything good for the country and have no plans at all for the future of the nation.
Someone needs to remind the likes of Paul Muite that wearing a baseball cap does not make one a Gen Z activist in Kenya. Go join the maandamanos or at least try your own rallies instead of sitting on your buts waiting so desperately for young Kenyans to come out there for you. The opposition can keep chasing their tails all the time as they head fast to William Ruto’s garbage bag. That is what they are fighting for and it is all theirs now.

The same Paul Muite, who has been trying to resurrect Rigathi Gachagua from his impeachment graveyard must now have come to terms with the reality that Gachagua is dead and buried politically in that ugly hole, and is going nowhere and may soon need another trip to the US to find something to keep him busy.
Kenyans do not even seem to have noticed that the man who thinks he is their king just came back from a near two month crusade in the US and should be all over the country getting ready for State House.
In the meantime, Martha Karua is super excited for Kenya because in Malawi the opposition leaders seem to have led the presidential elections and for Karua it is all about wantam winning and that is what they are happy about as they sit and wait out on Ruto.
Kenya next? Karua’s PLP cites Malawi example as Chakwera stares at defeat after one term
The People’s Liberation Party (PLP), led by Martha Karua, has linked Malawi’s unfolding election results to Kenya’s political future, citing accountability through the ballot as a regional trend.
On Thursday, September 18, 2025, the PLP posted on X: “Happening Now in Malawi, Wantam is Real! The people have spoken, and Chakwera is out after just one term. Accountability through the ballot. Kenya, we’re next. Trust the process.”
The vote, held on September 16, 2025, saw thousands queue to elect a president, MPs, and local councillors amid economic hardships, including 30 per cent inflation and fuel shortages.
Chakwera, who assumed office in 2020, now faces a potential exit after one term, while Mutharika, aged 85, appears poised for a comeback. The MEC has until September 24 to announce the presidential result.
According to Martha Karua the Malawi wantam is the way politics is going to work for them in Kenya, never mind that in Malawi the presidential opposition leader is an 85 year old new type of Gen Z hero of the revolution for a new government in that country.
Every country has its own political dynamics and in Kenya right now we have a dead opposition and maybe after they go to hell in a hurry some real opposition groups and movements are going to emerge across the nation.
