Former Mwingi Central MP Joe Mutambu has once again parted ways with Wiper PATRIOTIC FRONT Movement, this time declaring allegiance to the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ahead of the upcoming General Election. Mutambu’s latest political shift signals a renewed attempt to align himself with the national government, a move that is already stirring reactions across the Mwingi Central political landscape.
The former legislator was among a group of leaders who met President William Ruto at State House, where discussions are said to have centered on development, political cooperation, and grassroots mobilization. Sources indicate that Mutambu’s decision to join UDA was influenced by his desire to work closely with the government in delivering projects and securing support for his political ambitions.
His exit from Wiper adds to a growing list of defections from the Kalonzo Musyoka-led party, raising questions about its grip in Ukambani politics. As the 2027 race begins to take shape, Mutambu’s return to UDA is expected to reshape alliances in Mwingi Central, setting the stage for a highly competitive contest in the constituency.
