Gachagua Intensifies Criticism of Ruto and Vision 2060 - August 2026

A recent gathering at Rigathi Gachagua's rural home in Wamunyoro, Nyeri County, solidified his influence in the Mt Kenya region. President William Ruto has called for a national dialogue to create a long-term development blueprint legally anchored in the Kenyan Constitution. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has challenged the opposition to present an alternative to Vision 2060, emphasizing national planning should transcend partisan politics. In the 2027 election cycle, regions that were instrumental in Ruto's 2022 victory are now presenting his biggest challenges.
