Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has announced that he will reveal significant political plans in January 2025. Speaking during a church service on Sunday, Gachagua stated that he has been consulting various leaders and will disclose the details to Kenyans early next year. he said.
Loosely translated: (I am continuing discussions with people—our church leaders, businesspeople, professionals, and intelligent leaders who care about our people. In January, I will explain the agreements we have reached) Gachagua further took a swipe at President William Ruto, admitting that he made a big political blunder for believing him fully because he was carrying a Bible. Translated: (And the President did very well to bring this fight to the people of the mountain because we have come to know him.
Before, we did not know him well, but now we do, don’t we? Now we are speaking to you as you are. We have studied you and understand the kind of person you are. We spoke with you before really knowing you well.
.. you even had a Bible.
It is good that you brought this fight early because if you had done it after the second term, it would have been difficult for us) Gachagua said. The former Mathira MP mentioned that a new political movement emerging from the Mt Kenya region would surpass the impact of the 2002 realignment, which propelled former President Mwai Kibaki to power and ended Daniel Moi’s 24-year rule. he stated.
Gachagua’s statement comes amid speculation about the formation of a new political coalition. Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka recently confirmed ongoing discussions with the former Deputy President to create a fresh alliance. Kalonzo said.
Makueni MP Daniel Maanzo, a close ally of Kalonzo, revealed that plans for the coalition are progressing rapidly. He hinted that the new political outfit could take shape by Christmas, with efforts focused on bringing like-minded parties together. Maanzo said.
If finalized, this coalition could redefine Kenya’s political dynamics ahead of the 2027 Election..
