Lawyer Wahome Thuku Urges Kenyans to “Vote Matiang’i, Not Kalonzo” Citing Past Sonko and Sakaja Warnings

Prominent lawyer and political commentator Wahome Thuku has stirred debate online after sharing his views ahead of the 2027 General Election, urging Kenyans to support former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i over Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka.

In a recent Facebook post, Thuku recalled past elections to highlight what he sees as repeated voter mistakes. 

He first referenced the 2017 Nairobi governor race, noting that he had warned people, including family members, against voting for Mike Sonko. 

Many ignored his advice, and years later, Sonko was impeached after transferring major county functions to the national government under former President Uhuru Kenyatta — a move Thuku said demonstrated mismanagement.

Thuku then pointed to the 2022 elections, where he again cautioned voters against electing Johnson Sakaja as Nairobi governor. 

Despite facing criticism and accusations of bias from United Democratic Alliance (UDA) supporters linked to President William Ruto, Thuku said his warnings were later validated when Sakaja transferred key aspects of city management to the national government, raising doubts about his administrative capability.

Drawing from these experiences, Thuku urged voters to avoid supporting Kalonzo Musyoka in the upcoming presidential race. Instead, he endorsed Fred Matiang’i as a candidate he believes is capable of effective leadership and governance.

His remarks have generated mixed reactions online. Some supporters applauded his perspective, citing past election lessons, while critics accused him of political bias.
