The former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua has sharply criticized President William Ruto and Kimani Ichung’wah following disruptions at his Saturday rally in Kikuyu.
Gachagua accused them of cowardice and using police force, including live ammunition and teargas, to try to stop his political message.
Despite the heavy police presence and attempts to intimidate, Gachagua praised the people of Kikuyu for their bravery and resilience.
He said they stood firm and showed that no amount of force could silence their voice or stop the ideas he represents.
According to him, the people made clear decisions about the 2027 elections, signaling a shift in political support.
Gachagua declared that President Ruto would only serve one term and that Kimani Ichung’wah should follow him out of power.
He thanked the Kikuyu community for their warm and energetic welcome during the rally, calling their support heroic and ecstatic. Gachagua promised not to let the people down, emphasizing his commitment to their cause.
This incident highlights the growing tensions within Kenya’s political landscape as leaders prepare for the upcoming elections.
The use of force at political gatherings raises concerns about freedom of expression and the right to peaceful assembly.
Gachagua’s strong words and the community’s response suggest a deepening divide and a call for change.
The Kikuyu rally disruptions have sparked widespread discussion about leadership, democracy, and the future direction of the country.
As the 2027 elections approach, the political atmosphere remains charged, with citizens closely watching how their leaders handle challenges and represent their interests.
