Betrayed or Busy? Why Mudavadi & Wetangula Missed as Ruto, Raila Sealed Political Deal
On Friday, President William Ruto and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga signed an important agreement to work together. However, two well-known leaders were missing from the event—Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula.
Their absence from the signing ceremony, which took place at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), made many people curious and led to speculation about their position on the deal. Some wondered whether they supported the agreement or not.
However, a fact-check by Gossipa2z.comconfirmed that Mudavadi and Wetangula were engaged in other official duties at the time.
Mudavadi started his day by attending a Kenya Kwanza Parliamentary Group (PG) meeting at State House in the morning. The meeting, chaired by President Ruto, brought together leaders from the ruling coalition. During the session, the legislators agreed to support the cooperation agreement between the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM).

After this, Mudavadi had another meeting at his office at 10 a.m. before traveling to Bomet and Kakamega Counties on behalf of President Ruto. In Bomet, he attended the funeral of Mzee David Kiplang’at Arap Kirinyet, the father of Dr. Aurelia Rono, who serves as the Principal Secretary for Parliamentary Affairs. The funeral took place in Chemaner village.
Later, Mudavadi traveled to Lugusi in Kakamega County, where he attended a Thanksgiving Service at Friends’ Boys School. While there, he handed over a school bus in memory of the late Malava MP, Malulu Injendi, as a representative of President Ruto.
Meanwhile, Wetangula was in Kimilili, Trans Nzoia County, where he opened a new 8-classroom building at Daraja Mungu Comprehensive School in Kibingei Ward. He was invited to the event by Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa.
Afterward, Wetangula attended a requiem mass in honor of Wafula Chebukati, the former chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
