Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and his predecessor, Rigathi Gachagua, are engaged in a political match aimed at tearing each other down by wooing each other’s allies.

Mr Gachagua has converted his Wamunyoro village home into a command centre, where he has been meeting political guests and delegations and firing salvos at President Ruto and his administration.

In the city, Prof Kindiki has been using the DP’s Karen residence, replicating Gachagua’s moves, by hosting delegations from areas his predecessor had already covered.
