Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has confirmed he is ready to unveil his new political party. The move ends months of silence since his impeachment and signals a comeback to the political scene.
The Big Announcement in Juja
While addressing a congregation in Juja on Sunday, May 11, Gachagua told churchgoers that the launch will happen this week and will be followed by a grand celebration to mark the occasion.
“I will be launching my own party this week, and I invite all of you to join us as we celebrate this new beginning,” he said.
A Swipe at Kenya Kwanza
Gachagua didn’t hold back his criticism towards the ruling coalition. He claimed that there are efforts from within the government to create confusion in Mount Kenya by promoting new parties and alternative presidential candidates.
“They can form as many small parties as they want, but the mountain knows its direction and will not be misled,” Gachagua added.
Event Set for Thursday
According to reliable sources, the official launch is likely to happen on Thursday, March 15. During the event, Gachagua is expected to introduce the party’s name, its guiding slogan, and official branding colours.
Political Reawakening in the Mountain
This move is largely being viewed as Gachagua’s strategic attempt to regain his footing in Mount Kenya politics. As 2027 nears, many believe he wants to establish himself as a central figure in the region’s leadership once again.
