Restlessness surrounding the nomination of Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua as Deputy President William Ruto’s running mate is rocking the Kenya Kwanza coalition boat with a section of leaders faulting his style of politics.
Besides issuing controversial remarks that he claims have been distorted to perpetuate a narrative that he was not the best choice for Ruto, Gachagua has also been on the receiving end after United Democratic Alliance (UDA) affiliate parties accused him of “sidelining them and plotting to embarrass them in political rallies.”
UDA affiliate parties that have raised concern over their treatment in Kenya Kwanza rallies include Chama Cha Kazi led by Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, former Kiambu governor William Kabogo’s Wakenya Tujibebe party, Irungu Nyakera’s Farmers Party and The Service Party of former Agriculture CS Mwangi Kiunjuri.
