Gachagua Accuses Nakuru Governor of Treason, Nairobi ODM Leaders Push Back - August 2026

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused the Governor of Nakuru of being a traitor to the people of Nakuru. Nairobi ODM leaders have publicly refuted claims made by Gachagua suggesting the ODM party is in disarray. MP Fred Kapondi has hit back at Gachagua over the Wasama murder claims, denying knowing the victim. Gachagua has also alleged that PS Raymond and Wanga have planned attacks on the Linda Mwananchi rally in Homa Bay, adding to the political tensions. These incidents show coordinated resistance against Gachagua's political narrative from multiple ODM leaders and affiliates.
