Wambugu, who has been a strong voice in Central Kenya politics, said his stand reflects the frustrations of many members who feel ignored in party decisions.
Speaking in an interview, Wambugu said his warning was not about personal interests but about protecting the values of the Jubilee Party.
He warned that the party could lose direction if top leaders continue to make major decisions without involving grassroots members.
“This is about the future of our movement and the people who built it. When their voices are ignored, the party suffers,” he stated.
The former legislator made the remarks amid speculation that former President Uhuru Kenyatta could work with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua ahead of the next general election.
Wambugu said such moves, if not discussed widely, could break the trust of loyal supporters who have stood with the party through difficult times.
He further noted that some people were trying to downplay his comments, claiming they had no political impact.
However, Wambugu maintained that his statement carries weight because it represents the feelings of many Jubilee members in Central Kenya.
“People can say what they want, but the truth is that there are many within Jubilee who share my concerns,” he said.
At the same time, Wambugu vowed to continue questioning and exposing Gachagua’s political activities despite Uhuru’s warning to party members to avoid insulting other leaders.
He said his criticism of the former deputy president would continue but without disrespect.
“We will keep exposing the truth about Gachagua, without insults, as we have always done,” he stated.
