In the world of politicsโpromises are made and broken, alliances shift like sand in the wind and unexpected changes occur at the drop of a hatโTandao Media’s Emmanuel Wabomba has delved deep into the dance of alliances and thus presenting this political whirlwind of alliances saga.
The recent turn of events involving prominent figures who adamantly declared their opposition to President William Ruto is a perfect example of this ever-changing landscape.One such figure is Prof. Makau Mutua, who in 2020 boldly proclaimed that he could not work with Ruto. Fast forward to 2025 and Mutua finds himself in the unexpected position of Chief Constitutional Adviser in the Office of the President.
This sudden change in allegiance highlights the unpredictable nature of politics and the importance of seizing opportunities when they arise.Similarly, Hassan Joho, a vocal opponent of Ruto in 2021, found himself appointed as Minister of Minerals and Marine Resources in 2024. Joho’s willingness to adapt and embrace new opportunities showcases the fluidity of political dynamics and the necessity of being open to change.
Even Wycliffe Oparanya who once declared he would rather be a farmer than work with Ruto, accepted a government position as Minister of Cooperatives and Small and Medium Enterprises in 2024. Oparanya’s decision to pivot and focus on strengthening the small business sector demonstrates the transformative power of politics and the ability to make a positive impact in unexpected ways.In the grand game of politics, yesterday’s adversaries can become today’s allies.
These politicians, who once vehemently opposed Ruto, now find themselves in positions of power and influence within the government. Whether driven by political strategy, new circumstances or a desire for power, one thing is certain: in politics, change is the only constant.
THE EDITOR’S PICK!
As we witness these surprising shifts, it becomes clear that in the world of politics, nothing is set in stone. What may seem impossible today can become reality tomorrow. The key is to remain adaptable, seize opportunities and be willing to embrace change when it comes knocking. Because in the end, he who denied yesterday may very well accept today.
