Ruto Campaigns in Homa Bay, Continues Criticizing Gachagua - March 2026

President William Ruto campaigned in Homa Bay while continuing his public criticism of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of promoting tribalism and stating he should not be given any leadership role in the country. The President had earlier accused Gachagua of wasting five years in Parliament during his tenure as MP for Mathira Constituency. Kenya's opposition responded by daring Ruto to arrest Gachagua, signaling escalating political tensions. Meanwhile, leaders from Kenya's Coast region are uniting behind Mining Cabinet Secretary Hassan Joho to be Ruto's running mate in 2027, citing historical exclusion and the need for regional and religious inclusivity.
