Hard truths. Bold Insights. Real talk.
Speaking in an interview on NTV on Monday, the Homa Bay Town legislator said the movement's visibility was largely being amplified through the media and social media rather than reflecting strong grassroots support.
Speaking on Radio Generation on Monday, Gachoka argued that Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna currently offered the opposition its strongest option, saying his support in Western Kenya could be combined with the Mount Kenya vote under former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to create a formidable electoral coalition.
Speaking during a community engagement with Kenyans in Spokane, Washington, Gachagua said he was open to stepping aside from his own presidential ambitions if his colleagues concluded that another candidate was better placed to win.
Waiguru said she had intentionally stepped back from public political discussions for six weeks and had no plans to join a group where, in her view, leaders are denied an opportunity to speak.
Speaking on Radio Generation on Thursday, the senator claimed Nyoro was deliberately groomed while Gachagua was still in office, saying the Kiharu MP was used to weaken the Deputy President’s position.
According to Kariuki, Gachagua’s removal from office in 2024 made her more interested in hearing what the former deputy president had to say about the political developments within the Kenya Kwanza administration.
According to Nyoro, the leaders who spoke to Ruto later shared with him the President’s response to their attempts to change his mind.
After his appearance on Tuesday, Ruku said he had been given an opportunity to explain the circumstances surrounding the remarks and provide the context in which they were made.
Gachagua, who made the allegations in a statement on social media, also claimed that IEBC officials who refused to endorse the specifications were victimised and transferred, warning that changing the election management system less than a year before the polls could disrupt preparations and interfere with the voters’ register.
The Speaker said the broad-based government had pursued a development programme aimed at reaching different parts of the country, listing the hiring of more than 100,000 teachers, improvements in healthcare, road construction and the continued development of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) network.
Gachagua spoke on Wednesday night at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) shortly before flying to the United States, where he is expected to meet Kenyans living in the diaspora.
The lawmakers said Gachagua previously presented Nyanza and its political leaders as a major source of opposition to government, a position they said now raises questions about his renewed interest in the region.
