Sunday, December 8, 2024 - A close ally of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said Mount Kenya Members of Parliament are planning to abandon President William Ruto once the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is reconstituted.
Kenyans
have been pressurizing President William Ruto to reconstitute a new IEBC in
preparation for the 2027 Presidential election.
Speaking
on Saturday, Kiambu County Senator Karungo Wa Thang’wa said MPs who are on Ruto’s side will soon leave and join the opposition once IEBC is reconstituted.
Thang’wa
further hinted that Rigathi Gachagua was crafting another political outfit to replace the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) in the mountain.
According
to the senator, once the new political party is formed, most leaders elected in
Mt Kenya would swarm to align with the electorate.
Thang'wa
foresaw an event in which those elected under UDA would resign en masse and
seek a fresh mandate under the new outfit, which he said would be all-inclusive and
sensitive to the people's needs.
“Anyone ignoring Mt Kenya with its electorate is ignorant...if the president believes in himself, let him reconstitute the IEBC.
"He will see many MPs resigning from
UDA and seek fresh mandate using a different party that listens to the
public," said Thang'wa.
