President William Ruto’s first tour of the Mount Kenya region since the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has sparked widespread public debate, following pointed remarks he made while in Nyeri County.
In a video that has since gone viral, President Ruto addressed residents during a church service at ACK Ruringu, Nyeri, where he firmly dismissed claims of a fallout between him and the Mount Kenya electorate.
Flanked by key regional leaders including Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe and Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga, the President appeared keen to reassure the region of his continued political and development focus.
Ruto stated that nothing could separate him from the people of Mount Kenya, emphasizing that the region overwhelmingly supported his 2022 presidential bid.

He reiterated his commitment to delivering on the promises he made during the campaign period, insisting that his administration remains focused on economic empowerment, agriculture, and service delivery for the region.
While stopping short of mentioning Gachagua by name, Ruto’s remarks were widely interpreted as a response to growing political tension following the former Deputy President’s impeachment.
Adding to the surprise, Governor Mutahi Kahiga, previously perceived as an ally of Gachagua, openly praised President Ruto.
Kahiga affirmed that Ruto is his President and pledged continued cooperation with the national government to ensure Nyeri residents benefit from ongoing and future development projects.
The statements have fueled fresh political discussions on the future of Mount Kenya politics ahead of the 2027 general election.
