GACHAGUA’s former advisor endorses MATIANG’I’s presidential bid, says the former DP is unfit to lead Mt. Kenya



Saturday, October 4, 2025 - Former Nyeri Town MP, Ngunjiri Wambugu, has intensified his criticism of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, insisting he remains unfit to lead the Mt Kenya region.

Wambugu has instead thrown his weight behind former Interior Cabinet Secretary, Fred Matiang’i, whom he describes as a more suitable presidential candidate.

Both Gachagua and Matiang’i are key figures in the United Opposition and have declared their intentions to challenge President William Ruto in the 2027 general elections.

Despite their public show of unity, reports suggest growing tensions between the two leaders.

Wambugu claims Gachagua is increasingly unsettled by Matiang’i’s strategic political engagements in Mt Kenya, which have been met with warm receptions.

According to Wambugu, Matiang’i’s rising popularity threatens to dismantle the political stronghold Gachagua has built in the region.

While the opposition continues to hold joint rallies and emphasize cohesion, insiders point to the presidential ticket as a potential flashpoint.

Gachagua has positioned himself as the faction’s front-runner, often using sharp criticism of President Ruto to galvanize support.

In a bold statement, Gachagua recently declared his kingmaker status, saying, “Mimi ndio nilifanya Uhuru President, na tena nikafanya Ruto president… yule anataka kuwa president 2027, lazima apitie kwa mkono yangu.”

    All Kenyan Voters, as 2026/27 election approaches.

    Let's all NOT vote the useless Ruto/Raila and all those that will joins in for his second term mirage wish. Let also NOT vote for the opposition party lead by Gachagua/Kalonzo/Karua/Muturi/Wamalwa/Natembeya/these group.

    Let not vote for Matiangi/Jubillee/looters party.

    Let's all come together and only vote for the presidential candidate who will prosecute all odious debts, Missing Eurobonds, stop and refund housing levy, stop SHIF & SHS and return NHIF, Offer free education up to University, Reclaim all parastatals sold by the imbecile kasongo, never pay an odious debts both local and internationally and abolish land rates and lower VAT and PAYE taxes. A candidate with these items on their manifesto is the only one we should only vote for and these are Honourable Senator Omtatah and former Chief Justice Maraga. The rest are assholes no voter should vote for them come 2026/27 presidential election.

    These are the only candidates who will deliver our republic of Kenya from these imbeciles who have messed our country since independence to date with kasongo with his primitive handshake idiots.

    Omtatah and Marage we will vote for them only, come 2026/27 election.
