The Day Mary Wamaua Tested Ruto’s Popularity — and Met an Unsettling Silence

Описание: A single question. A packed public meeting. And a silence that has now gone viral across Kenya’s political space.
In Maragua Constituency, MP Mary Wamaua tried to test the political mood ahead of 2027 by asking her constituents who would support President William Ruto. No hands went up. Not one.

This video breaks down what really happened at that baraza, why that silence mattered more than boos, and what it reveals about the shifting political ground in Mt. Kenya. From economic pressure and betrayal narratives to the shadow of Rigathi Gachagua and the growing “WanTam” sentiment, we unpack why even loyalists are now reading the room differently.

Is this just one awkward moment—or a warning signal for 2027?
