Until he ventured into politics last year, Rigathi Gachagua was a real estate businessman for at least 10 years. The name ‘Gachagua’ in Nyeri County is known by almost all voters, thanks to popularity of the late Governor Nderitu Gachagua.

After the death of his brother Nderitu, Rigathi wanted to run for Nyeri gubernatorial race but he later abandoned it for the Mathira parliamentary seat.
