Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has linked violence that disrupted Deputy President Kithure Kindiki's meeting in Embu to political maneuvering for the 2027 Mt Kenya succession.

• One person was killed and six vehicles were torched during the incident at Nembure Stadium.
• Rigathi Gachagua accused the Ruto administration of attempting to divide the Mt Kenya region and build a political base for Kindiki.
• Gachagua also alleged that cash was being distributed at political meetings to influence residents, criticizing this strategy as detrimental to the people.
