Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is facing significant political challenges and resistance across various regions of Kenya, despite efforts to consolidate his position within the United Opposition following his impeachment.

• Gachagua is engaged in a three-way contest within his Mt Kenya stronghold against President Ruto's UDA and loyalists of former President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee Party, with tensions occasionally turning violent in counties like Nyandarua and Murang’a.
• He confronts resistance from his Mt Kenya backyard to the Coast, Rift Valley, Western, Nyanza, and North Eastern regions.
• In Nairobi, Gachagua faced backlash over controversial remarks suggesting the zoning of senior county positions for the DCP in an arrangement with Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka, which was later clarified by Musyoka as an international city belonging to all Kenyans.
