Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has caused a stir among South Rift Valley leaders by declaring himself the champion of the region's interests. This has led to a united front among Members of Parliament (MPs) from the area to mobilize their constituents against him.

• Rigathi Gachagua is facing opposition from South Rift Valley leaders after claiming to represent their interests.
• The controversy escalated following Gachagua's recent tour of Bomet County where he criticized President William Ruto.
• MPs from the region are now actively rallying their electorates to counter Gachagua's narrative.
