Big Blow for Wetang’ula as His Father and Two Brothers Pose With Wantam Signs

A family photograph featuring the father of National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula, Mzee Dominic, and his two brothers has sparked mixed reactions among Kenyans after they were spotted posing with Wantam signs.

The photograph, which has been circulating on social media, attracted considerable attention, with several Kenyans interpreting the family’s gesture as a possible political statement ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The Wantam slogan has increasingly become associated with calls for a political change and opposition to President William Ruto’s administration.

The appearance of Wetang’ula’s close family members holding the signs has therefore triggered discussions about the political direction of the Speaker’s family, particularly given his position in the current government.

Some Kenyans viewed the photograph as an indication that even members of prominent political families could hold different political opinions from their relatives.

Others, however, dismissed the significance of the image, arguing that posing with political campaign materials did not necessarily mean the family had formally joined the opposition.

The photograph also generated humorous reactions, with some social media users questioning why people were making a big deal out of the family’s appearance.

One netizen dismissed the discussions, saying, “Huyu mnamsumbua tu bure na hana maneno.”

The remarks attracted attention as Kenyans continued debating the possible political implications of the photograph.

Wetang’ula remains one of the senior figures in President Ruto’s administration, having played a significant role in the Kenya Kwanza political arrangement.

However, the latest family photograph has introduced an interesting twist to the political discussions surrounding the Speaker and his family’s perceived political preferences.

With the 2027 General Election approaching, the Wantam slogan continues to feature prominently in political conversations, as different leaders and their supporters position themselves for the next electoral contest.

The photograph is likely to generate further debate, especially among Kenyans closely following the country’s changing political alliances.
