Candidate announcement
NYERI, Kenya, Nov 3 — Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has challenged leaders in the United Opposition to focus on mobilising votes instead of accusing him of political arrogance and bullying, insisting that President William Ruto can only be removed from power through numbers.
Gachagua said the opposition must build a strong electoral base capable of defeating Ruto, arguing that political declarations, press conferences and competing manifestos would not deliver victory without sufficient voter support.
He spoke at his Wamunyoro residence in Nyeri while officially welcoming former Kenyan High Commissioner to India Peter Munyiri into his party.
