In the run-up to the August 9, 2022 presidential poll, the rumor mills were rife with Prof Kithure Kindiki's name as the most likely presidential running mate on the Kenya Kwanza ticket. Then, from the blues, emerged Rigathi Gachagua who, by most accounts, was not a frontrunner for the high office of the Deputy President of Kenya.

Those who were privy to the behind-the-scenes negotiations have intimated that Riggy G bullied his way to the deputy presidency by touting deep pockets and the numerical superiority of his ethnic community.
