Mr Kioni seizes the opportunity that Gachagua provides to sound comparatively measured and sober. The Kioni reaction offers alternatives to Mr Gachagua's claim and has the effect of deflating the DP's political ego.
To Mr Kioni, Mr Gachagua's blunders are an opportunity for political rebooting. Having abandoned his denial attitude and initial tendency to find excuses for his and the Azimio/Jubilee losses in August 2022, Mr Kioni increasingly seems to focus on tearing the DP's political garment.
