President William Ruto and his former deputy Rigathi Gachagua have escalated their public feud, openly disregarding calls for restraint from religious and other leaders.

• President Ruto accused opposition leaders of engaging in personality politics and made body-shaming remarks against opponents.
• Rigathi Gachagua, now a DCP leader, countered by accusing the President of losing his cool due to failed business dealings, specifically mentioning a potential Sh7 billion deal.
• Deputy President Kithure Kindiki also weighed in, warning opposition leaders against attacking the President and accusing them of hindering government efforts.
