NAIROBI, Kenya, Nov 10 – President William Ruto has stepped up his political confrontation with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of intimidating emerging leaders and attempting to frustrate their political ambitions ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Ruto singled out Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro, National Assembly Majority Whip Sylvanus Osoro, Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah and Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot among politicians he claimed had become targets of Gachagua’s criticism.
Speaking during a development tour of Kisii County on Tuesday, November 10, the President warned the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader against picking fights with younger politicians, saying they should be allowed to develop their leadership credentials without intimidation.
