Speaking during a public event on Thursday, Waiguru alleged that despite the harsh criticism directed at the President during the day, some leaders allied to Gachagua privately contact Ruto seeking dialogue and reconciliation.
According to the governor, the leaders are now realizing that continued political attacks could isolate the Mt Kenya region from the national government.
Waiguru said the messages being passed to State House indicate that the group is willing to tone down the insults and instead push for talks aimed at bringing leaders from the Mt Kenya region back to the negotiating table.
Her remarks come at a time when political temperatures in the region remain high following months of public disagreements between President Ruto’s allies and those aligned to Gachagua.
In recent weeks, several leaders from the region have openly criticized the government, accusing it of sidelining Mt Kenya in key appointments and development projects.
However, Waiguru insisted that the government remains open to working with all leaders regardless of political differences. She urged politicians from the region to prioritize development over endless political battles.
The governor also warned that constant political hostility risks slowing down projects that residents in the region are counting on.
Political analysts say the latest remarks reflect the growing behind-the-scenes negotiations as different factions position themselves ahead of the 2027 general election.
Mt Kenya remains one of the most influential voting blocs in the country, making it a key battleground for political alliances.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether the alleged late-night outreach efforts will translate into a public truce between President Ruto and leaders linked to Gachagua.
