Photos of the legislator at the high-level meeting circulated widely online, triggering a wave of criticism from sections of the public who accused her of abandoning the opposition.
Many Kenyans claimed that Wamuchomba had betrayed former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, who has positioned himself as a key opposition figure after falling out with President Ruto.
For months, Wamuchomba had been one of the most vocal critics of the Ruto administration, often using Parliament and public platforms to challenge government policies and leadership style.
Her sharp attacks had earned her praise from opposition supporters who viewed her as fearless and principled.
However, her appearance at State House alongside UDA delegates has raised questions about her political stand.
On social media, some Kenyans alleged that the MP had “crossed over” after receiving money or political favours, claims that have fueled further backlash. Critics argued that her actions contradict her previous stance and have eroded the trust of voters who supported her opposition politics.
“She is no longer fighting for the people,” read one reaction shared widely online, while others accused her of political opportunism. Some users questioned whether she still stands with Gachagua or has quietly aligned herself with the government.
Despite the criticism, a section of Kenyans defended Wamuchomba, arguing that attending a State House meeting does not automatically mean defection. They said leaders should engage across political divides for the sake of development and national unity.
As the debate continues, Wamuchomba has yet to issue a detailed public statement clarifying her presence at the meeting. The incident has once again highlighted the fragile nature of Kenya’s opposition politics and the growing public scrutiny faced by leaders perceived to be shifting allegiances.
