Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused President William Ruto of neglecting the Kalenjin community in developmental matters, alleging that the President is prioritizing other regions for re-election votes in 2027. Gachagua made these remarks during an interview with Kalenjin journalists on Friday evening.

• Gachagua claims President Ruto has directed development to Nyanza while neglecting areas like Kericho and Bomet, traditionally strongholds.
• Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), stated that the Kalenjin community lacks advocates, as their Members of Parliament and Senators have remained silent.
• He reassured the Kalenjin nation that his personal fallout with President Ruto would not lead to their discrimination if his party forms the next government.
