NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 2 – Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has suggested that he could move permanently to the United States with his family should the Opposition fail to unseat President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election.
Gachagua, who leads the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), linked his possible departure to the political direction of the Mt Kenya region, warning that a divided electorate could undermine the Opposition’s prospects of taking power.
Speaking during a Sunday night interview with a vernacular television station, the former Deputy President maintained that the Opposition had sufficient political support to defeat Ruto but cautioned that internal rivalries could hand the incumbent an advantage.
