Kagombe Seeks Forgiveness From Gachagua After Defecting to DCP

Gatundu South MP Gabriel Kagombe faced a hostile reception while seeking forgiveness from Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at a church service, after defecting from UDA to DCP. Meanwhile, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka has strongly condemned escalating political violence and directly challenged President William Ruto to halt what he termed "political goonism." Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has refuted claims that Uhuru Kenyatta is funding opposition efforts against President William Ruto, stating that the movement for political change is a "mass movement" driven by Kenyans and does not require external financial sponsorship. The three stories capture different dimensions of Kenya's current political landscape, with figures maneuvering within and against the ruling administration.
