Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has called upon leaders in the Mt Kenya region to stand united and avoid engaging in divisive succession politics, emphasizing the need to maintain cohesion. Speaking during the commissioning of machinery at Joy Millers Ltd in Kirinyaga, Deputy President Gachagua stressed the importance of steering clear of discussions that could potentially sow discord.

“We won’t allow anyone to divide Mt Kenya region. Those scheming to divide the region should know that the people of Mt Kenya are intelligent and aware of what is happening. Those seeking to divide us are enemies of the region,” Deputy President Gachagua asserted, expressing his resolve to prevent any attempts to fragment the region based on county lines.

In response to recent sentiments from certain leaders endorsing Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro as a suitable candidate to deputize William Ruto in 2027, Deputy President Gachagua reaffirmed his loyalty to President William Ruto and pledged support to the UDA party.
