Ruto and Gachagua feud escalates into public spats as political tensions rise ahead of elections

18th March, 2026

The political landscape in Kenya has shifted from strategic friction to an all-out verbal war as President William Ruto and his former deputy, Rigathi Gachagua, have officially "dropped the gloves." In recent public rallies across the country—most notably during the President’s recent tour of the Western and Mt. Kenya regions—the once-inseparable duo has traded the dignity of their offices for raw, personal attacks. The "love-hate" relationship has completely collapsed, replaced by a "bare-knuckle" confrontation that many observers fear is sidelining the urgent economic issues facing Kenyans.
