"I am Confused" Mathira MP's Reaction After Residents' Response to 'Tutam' or 'Wantam'

Mathira MP Eric Wamumbi has responded to the growing debate over the political slogans “Wantam” and “Tutam” after seeking the views of residents in his constituency.

Wamumbi shared a video on his official Facebook page in which he asked Mathira residents whether they supported “Wantam” or “Tutam.” He jokingly questioned whether the “Tutam” slogan was actually the same as “Wantam,” before asking whether President William Ruto should be associated with either side.

According to the reactions from residents, the majority appeared to support “Tutam,” a slogan suggesting that President Ruto and MP Wamumbi should be given another term in the 2027 General Election.

The remarks come amid growing discussion on social media around the “Wantam” slogan, which is widely used by Ruto’s critics to suggest that he should serve only one term. Wamumbi said he was puzzled by the contrast between what is being expressed online and what he is hearing from people at the grassroots.

The Mathira MP argued that the views of ordinary residents should be taken seriously, claiming that people on the ground are expressing their true opinions without hiding behind social media identities.

Wamumbi said he believes Mathira residents will turn out in large numbers in 2027 to vote for both him and President Ruto, insisting that the grassroots message is different from the narrative being pushed online.

He maintained that while social media users may be promoting “Wantam,” the message he is receiving from Mathira residents is “Tutam,” and he believes the ballot will ultimately reveal the true position of the people.
