Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is positioning himself as the best bet for the United Opposition ahead of the forthcoming general elections to be held in August next year.
The Democracy For Citizens Party Leader Hon Gachagua has sent a stern warning to these leaders as he reveals what he is about to do.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has issued a stern rebuke to elected leaders in his home county of Nyeri, accusing local representatives of betraying their voters and failing to safeguard the community’s economic and political interests on the national stage.
Addressing supporters in his home region, the political veteran expressed profound disappointment with the current crop of Nyeri politicians. He stated that their public conduct and recent political alignments have brought disgrace to the county.
The former second-in-command asserted that rather than defending local welfare amid national economic strains, several local leaders have chosen personal self-preservation over the trust bestowed upon them by the electorate.
Declaring a fresh political campaign anchored in his home territory, Gachagua pledged to launch a national liberation movement starting directly from Nyeri.
He stressed that restoring genuine accountability and economic freedom across the country requires first rectifying leadership failures at the grass-roots level.
By consolidating support in his backyard, the former deputy president intends to build a formidable political base capable of challenging state policies and pushing for a unified opposition framework.
The sharp criticism aimed at Nyeri legislators marks a significant escalation in regional political tensions following recent executive restructurings.
Observers view the remarks as a direct effort by Gachagua to re-establish undisputed supremacy in the Mount Kenya region and pressure local MPs to align with his political agenda.
As political realignments intensify, Gachagua’s vow to initiate nationwide changes from his home county signals an aggressive grassroots mobilization drive aimed at reshaping regional dynamics and confronting opposition rivals ahead of upcoming electoral contests.
