Wamalwa argued that the collaboration of some of the coalition leaders with the ruling Kenya Kwanza Government that have made the coalition unpopular.
He expressed his dissatisfaction with the new broad-based Cabinet that includes his colleagues from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), for aiding and abetting President William Ruto’s bad governance.
“When John Mbadi brings those taxes, you will not say it is Ruto who has brought those taxes, you will say that Ruto has converted some of our colleagues in ODM to become Zakayos like him.”

“The party has also said that with all our chairmen from all our 47 counties, we will go back to each of the 47 counties to start an aggressive recruitment drive to prepare our party for the next elections,” Wamalwa stated.
“The DAP-K will be fielding candidates in all positions from MCA to MPs to Women Representatives to Governor to Senator to the President and yours truly has been given that honourous task of carrying the flag into the presidential race of August 10, 2027,” he added.
