Allies say Gachagua's comeback after retreat to shape 2027 race

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is embarking on his third 45-day retreat to his Wamunyoro residence, a move insiders suggest could significantly shape the political landscape ahead of next year's elections. A recent High Court ruling upholding the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has unexpectedly complicated the political path for current Deputy President Kithure Kindiki in the crucial Mt Kenya region ahead of the 2027 General Election. The National Assembly's Committee of Powers and Privileges has cleared Bumula MP Jack Wamboka of bribery allegations but recommended he be barred from certain oversight committees.
