Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has criticized President William Ruto for alleged double standards after Ruto extended an olive branch to KANU party leader Gideon Moi, leading to KANU joining Ruto's Kenya Kwanza administration.

• Gachagua accused Ruto of hypocrisy, stating that when Ruto and Moi call for unity among the Kalenjin community, it is termed "unity," but when Gachagua mobilizes the Mt Kenya region, he is labeled a "tribalist."
• The truce between President Ruto and Gideon Moi was announced on Friday, October 9, in Kabarak, Nakuru County, with KANU agreeing to integrate into Ruto's broad-based government.
• Gachagua specifically called out Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru, an ally of President Ruto, for allegedly working to sow division among Mt Kenya residents.
