Gachagua Changes Stance on Uhuru Kenyatta, Warns Mt Kenya Leaders - October 2025

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has reportedly softened his stance on Former President Uhuru Kenyatta. In a notable shift, Gachagua now states that Kenyatta is a retired president who deserves a peaceful retirement. This change in tone follows months during which Gachagua had defended the former president against criticism from allies of President William Ruto. Separately, Gachagua has vowed to expose leaders he accuses of betraying the Mt Kenya region by engaging in divisive politics and colluding with 'outsiders'. He also specifically warned that women leaders involved in illegal acts would face the same consequences as men.
