On June 5, Ngunjiri Wambugu, former Nyeri Town MP, disclosed the reasons behind his falling out with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, citing conflicting ideologies and leadership styles.

• Wambugu criticized Gachagua's claim that the Democracy for Citizens' Party (DCP) would dominate the Mount Kenya region, stating, "We are not together. I don’t agree with him on principle."
• Key figures involved include Rigathi Gachagua and the Jubilee Party, which Wambugu believes still holds political weight.
• Wambugu lambasted Gachagua's strategy as undemocratic, recalling how he campaigned for President William Ruto during the lead-up to the 2022 general elections.
