    Whoever Mt. Kenya supports in 2027, will be the next President - Gachagua

    Whoever Mt. Kenya supports in 2027, will be the next President - Gachagua

    Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has exuded Confidence that the Mount Kenya region vote-block backed candidate, will easily win the 2027 Presidential General Elections.

    Speaking on the shifting political landscape, Gachagua emphasized that his relationship with President William Ruto had reached an irreparable breaking point, accusing the President of turning his back on the Mount Kenya region, arguing that the promises made to the community had not been fulfilled.

    According to Gachagua, the region's political interests must take precedence over personal loyalties, and he is willing to explore new alliances that align with the aspirations of his people.

    He also noted that many Mt Kenya leaders have assured him that they are ready to ditch the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party for his new party.

    Asked about the coalitions he is currently seeking with other opposition parties, Gachagua insisted that he will be keen not to repeat the mistake he made in the 2022 elections.

    The former DP said that he has two years to create a serious political machine, hinting at the Possibility of Working with ODM Party Leader Raila Odinga, if an Opportunity Presents itself.

    “I'm happy and this is God sent, I have time to craft a very serious political party and by the way, I do admire Raila Odinga and ODM. We may have had problems with Raila but give it to him. He crafted a very serious political machine that has been there for 20 years." he noted.

    “The quality of leaders elected under ODM is admirable and I'll be going to ODM for benchmarking. I must talk to Raila Odinga, ask him how did you craft this machine and how have you kept it going for 20 years?” Gachagua said.

    “I have two years to create a very serious political machine. I'll make sure that in whatever coalition we go and whoever, I will make sure our interests are well anchored through a water-tight agreement,” he added.

    While he did not confirm any formal discussions with Odinga, he left the door open for potential cooperation, signaling a significant realignment in the country’s political arena.

    His remarks have sparked speculation about a possible coalition that could reshape the 2027 political race.

    Political analysts suggest that such a move could have far-reaching implications, given Gachagua's influence in Mount Kenya and Raila Odinga's long-standing dominance in opposition politics.

    For now, it remains to be seen how this political dynamic will unfold, but Gachagua's statements indicate a growing rift within the ruling government and the possibility of new power alignments ahead of the next general elections.
