DAP-K Party leader Eugene Wamalwa has dismissed claims of a fallout with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, terming the reports as fake news.
An image circulating online alleged that Wamalwa and former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi had disagreed with Gachagua over the positioning of political parties and candidates.
However, in a statement on Thursday, August 28, Wamalwa refuted the claims, stating that the reports were fabricated and meant to cause unnecessary tension.
"No amount of fake news will shake the unity, resolve, and focus of Team #Wantam to beat Team #Tutam both in the coming by-elections and General elections! The die is cast," he wrote.

The clarification comes three weeks after Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka dismissed a letter circulating on social media purporting to show his appointment as part of an African Union shuttle diplomacy mission.
The letter, allegedly from the Office of the President of Kenya and addressed to the African Union Commission, claims Musyoka was selected by President William Ruto to represent Kenya in a diplomatic engagement related to the upcoming elections in Côte d’Ivoire.
However, in a statement on Thursday, August 7, Kalonzo dismissed the document as fake, insisting that he will never work with the Kenya Kwanza administration.
"Absolutely fake. I will always stand with the people of Kenya. I will not dialogue with those who murder and abduct young Kenyans. #WanTam is not only a reality, it is an eventuality," he said.
Prior to this, Kalonzo had been forced to clear the air following reports that he had joined Ruto's government.
Social media was awash on Wednesday, March 12, with videos and reports that the Wiper leader had met and held talks with President Ruto at State House.
However, Kalonzo flagged the video and disclosed that the events happened in March 2024, adding that it was meant to mislead the public and create a false narrative about his political stance.
"Why are they panicking? The people's loyal coalition will never be party to the biggest betrayal of Kenyans for political expediency and temporary comfort. #RutoMustGo," he wrote on X.
