“ Thank You So Much”: Former MP Alfred Keter Reacts After Ruto’s PS Is Met With One Term Chants

Former Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter has weighed in on the growing political debate surrounding the Wantam movement after an incident at Masinde Muliro University of Science and Technology (MMUST) attracted significant attention.

Keter expressed appreciation to the university community for what he described as a strong show of support for the Wantam movement, suggesting that the reaction from students offered an indication of the political mood among some young Kenyans.WATCH THE VIDEO HERE.

The incident occurred when Susan Mang’eni, the Principal Secretary for MSME Development in President William Ruto’s administration, addressed students at the university and attempted to deliver greetings from the President.

However, the occasion reportedly took an unexpected political turn after students responded with loud Wantam chants.

The reaction created an uncomfortable moment for the government representative and quickly became a subject of discussion both within the university community and online.

Videos and reports surrounding the incident have since generated debate, with some commentators expressing surprise at the intensity of the students’ response.

Others viewed the incident as a possible indication of growing political dissatisfaction among sections of Kenya’s youth, who have increasingly played an important role in the country’s political conversations.

Keter’s response has added further attention to the Wantam movement, particularly as political parties and leaders begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

By celebrating the students’ reaction, Keter appeared to interpret the MMUST incident as more than an isolated university event, suggesting that it could reflect a broader political sentiment developing among young Kenyans.

The Wantam slogan has increasingly featured in political discussions and public gatherings, with its supporters presenting it as a call for change and a rejection of the current political establishment.

However, it remains uncertain whether the movement can develop from a popular political slogan into a structured and influential electoral force capable of significantly affecting the 2027 contest.

The MMUST incident has nevertheless added momentum to the debate, demonstrating how political chants and public reactions can quickly become major talking points in Kenya’s increasingly active political environment.

With the 2027 General Election drawing closer, similar encounters involving government officials, opposition figures and members of the public are likely to attract increased attention as politicians seek to gauge public sentiment.

For now, Keter’s comments have further intensified the conversation over Wantam and its potential influence on Kenya’s political landscape ahead of the next election.
