Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has suffered a major setback as outspoken youth leader Calvin Gaucho intimated that he would soon join President William Ruto’s side.

During an interview, Gaucho, one of Azimio’s most trusted mobilizers and a personal friend of former President Uhuru Kenyatta, disclosed that he was willing to meet with Ruto to discuss the welfare of youth from low-income families.

This comes as he has been at the forefront of protests against Ruto’s government over rising living costs and election injustices.

Gaucho also denied being a member of Azimio, despite actively participating in demonstrations and marches planned by the group’s leader, Raila Odinga.

He also separated himself from the Kenya Kwanza Coalition, claiming to be the leader of the vulnerable and youth.

According to the vociferous young, he worked with the Raila-led coalition because he believed the two shared the same goal for Kenyans, but he never formally joined the alliance.

“When he (President Ruto) calls, I will meet him because Raila Odinga is the Azimio leader.” I’m merely the ghetto president, and I represent the slum dwellers. “I’m not in Kenya Kwanza or Azimio,” he explained.

Gaucho went on to say that Ruto had to meet specific criteria before agreeing to meet with him, having learned firsthand from leaders who damaged their careers by warming up to politicians.

He urged that the meeting be made public in order to avoid controversies and demanded a pledge from the President that he will not be used as a political ploy.

“I will have no problem as long as he does not use the meeting for publicity, as he has done with other politicians in the past.”

“If he calls me, it should be something very open to the public because the people he surrounds himself with are very controversial,” he said.

The young leader mentioned that he had some challenging issues for the president about the wellbeing of the youth, such as employment and taxation.

He would be able to do so, though, only if the president allowed him openly criticize his decisions rather than luring him to support the government.
