Reports that some powerful forces in Kenya Kwanza could be scheming against Deputy President (DP) Rigathi Gachagua and Speaker Moses Wetangula, to tame the duo in the 2027 presidential elections have set tongues wagging.

Political analysts have said the recent proposal by some leaders from the Mt Kenya region that Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro be an alternative to Gachagua as the running mate of President William Ruto in 2027 did not just come out of the blue.
