Renowned political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has delivered a strong message to President William Ruto, cautioning him about the overwhelming support he witnessed for Raila Odinga.
In an post addressed to Ruto, Ngunyi emphasized that the masses shown in the videos are not easily swayed or manipulated, making them a force to be reckoned with.
The picture, which captured a groundswell of support for Raila Odinga, sent a clear message to the political establishment. Ngunyi asserted that this kind of popular support cannot be bought or controlled by traditional political tactics. The magnitude of the crowd in the photo reflects the frustrations and aspirations of the people, who have nothing to lose but their chains.
Ngunyi reminded Ruto not to underestimate the power of the people and to refrain from viewing his opponents as the enemy. Instead, he urged Ruto to recognize that the true enemy lies in the grievances and concerns of the people. The masses are demanding change and are eager to break free from the chains that have held them back.
Dear Ruto: This picture SCARED me. It is a GROUND SWELL. You cannot BUY these MULTITUDES. And you can KILL the MESSENGER, but NOT the message. The ENEMY is not Raila. The ENEMY is the People. These people have NOTHING to lose except their CHAINS. Don't be CASUAL. #Maandamano https://t.co/kIGNnZJPM9

Ngunyi’s warning emphasized that dismissing or undermining the people’s power would be a grave mistake. He stressed that attempting to silence the messenger will not silence the message itself. The groundswell of support for Ruto represents a deep-rooted desire for transformation and a rejection of the status quo.
