Political activist Gaucho has launched a fierce verbal attack on Lang’ata MP Phelix “Jalang’o” Odiwuor, accusing him of betraying ODM and its leader Raila Odinga.
Speaking during a public address, Gaucho claimed that Jalang’o had abandoned the party’s ideals for personal gain. He alleged that the Lang’ata MP was influenced to step aside in favor of another leader and warned that such moves could have long-term political consequences.
Gaucho described Lang’ata as politically significant to ODM, referring to it as a stronghold closely associated with Raila Odinga. He suggested that Jalang’o should recognize the weight of the support he previously received from the party leadership and grassroots mobilizers.
In his remarks, Gaucho also cautioned that political decisions made now could affect future leadership ambitions within Nairobi politics, hinting at possible competition among rising figures in the region.
The comments have sparked debate among ODM supporters and Nairobi residents, with some defending Jalang’o’s independence while others echo concerns about party loyalty. As internal tensions continue to surface within different political camps, such public exchanges highlight the delicate balance between personal ambition and party allegiance in Kenya’s evolving political landscape.
