Sunday, August 25, 2024 - Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has fired a warning shot at a group of Mt. Kenya leaders challenging his position as the region’s kingpin, stating that their days are numbered.
Speaking at the wedding ceremony
of Paul Wetosi and Jacinta Wanjiru, daughter of Juja MP George Koimburi, at the
Juja Preparatory School grounds in Kiambu County, Gachagua warned that anyone
fighting him is going against the interests of Mt. Kenya.
As a result, he said the rebels will be ousted from office in 2027.
According to Gachagua, Mt. Kenya residents have put these leaders on notice, warning that their fate will be sealed soon if they do not change.
"As we prepare ahead of the
2027 elections, take note that the coming election will be very competitive.
You know I am that person who listens to the ground. Some serious decisions
have already been made," Gachagua said.
The DP continued with his
message of unity in the Mount Kenya region, asking residents to work together
and ignore the politics of succession.
He warned MPs from the region to
go slow on the clamour to succeed him and instead focus on development and
interests that affect the people.
However, as Gachagua was warning about
premature succession politics, some of his critics met in Eldoret to strategize.
The MPs, led by Laikipia East MP
Mwangi Kiunjuri, said Gachagua has no option but to accept the new political
arrangement and stop undermining Ruto.
The lawmakers met with over 300 representatives of the Kikuyu community, reportedly to discuss matters of national unity.
Other MPs present were Joseph
Wainaina (nominated), John Kiarie (Dagoretti South), John Kiragu (Limuru), and
Duncan Mathenge (Nyeri Town).
