On June 25, 2020, a significant development shook the Machakos political landscape when former Senator Johnstone Muthama announced his departure from the Wiper Party.
The move comes after Muthama faced disciplinary proceedings for his association with Deputy President William Ruto, a move seen as a breach of the party's constitution.
According to sources, Muthama's decision to leave the party was largely due to his opposition to the Wiper-Jubilee pact, which has seen the two parties work together towards the 2022 elections.
As Muthama distances himself from the Wiper Party, speculation is rife that he may join the DP Ruto camp before the 2022 polls.
