My thoughts on Gachagua's 2027 State House dream

Rigathi Gachagua's entrance into the presidential race has ruffled a few feathers, numbed the excitement of some in the opposition circles, and left others in a dilemma - unsure of what that means to the united opposition.

My take is that his decision could only mean two scenarios, with one being the most probable. One is that Gachagua may have chosen to be selfish about his personal political agenda, where winning the presidency isn't really the target, but his personal influence is. However, the more probable scenario is that all the senior opposition leaders have agreed to throw their hats into the ring as a consolidation strategy towards 2027.
