Kaluma’s explosive claim points to former President Uhuru Kenyatta and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, whom he alleges are involved in efforts to remove Babu Owino and James Orengo from the Linda Mwanaichi camp.
The allegation immediately raises questions about the political alliances taking shape ahead of the 2027 General Election and whether the movement can maintain a united front as competing interests emerge.
Kaluma has previously been outspoken about divisions surrounding Linda Mwanaichi, particularly over the roles being played by Orengo, Babu and Senator Edwin Sifuna. His latest remarks add another dimension to an already complicated political contest.
However, the claims about Uhuru and Gachagua remain allegations and have not been independently established. Neither leader is being presented here as having confirmed involvement in any such move.
The controversy comes at a time when Linda Mwanaichi continues to attract political attention across different parts of the country, with questions over leadership, presidential ambitions and the direction of the movement becoming increasingly prominent.
Kaluma’s latest statement is therefore likely to fuel further debate among supporters and political observers.
Whether his allegations point to a genuine political realignment or another escalation in the growing battle over control of Linda Mwanaichi remains a question that could dominate conversations in the days ahead.
