Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has defended his remarks, warning that possible rigging in the 2027 presidential election could spark worse violence than the 2007 post-election crisis.
In a letter addressed to the National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC), Gachagua's lawyer, Kibe Mungai, said the deputy president's statement was constitutionally protected under Article 33, which guarantees freedom of expression.
