Speaking during a public address, Gachagua pointed to a meeting at State House that involved Siaya Senator Oburu Odinga and Homa Bay Governor Gladys Wanga.
He questioned the timing of the engagement, noting that political activities associated with UDA were taking place in Nyanza counties at the same time.
According to Gachagua, UDA-related events were ongoing in Kisumu, Homa Bay, and Siaya as the State House meeting was happening.
He interpreted the parallel developments as part of a broader political strategy, raising concerns about how alliances are evolving ahead of the 2027 election.
Gachagua further argued that the outreach to ODM-linked leaders could influence the balance of political parties if cooperation between the two sides continues.
His remarks reflect ongoing tensions within the Kenya Kwanza coalition and wider political realignments across regions.
President Ruto has, in recent months, engaged leaders from different political backgrounds as part of broader consultations on national issues. These meetings have included figures associated with ODM leader Raila Odinga.
The developments come at a time when political activity is gradually increasing across the country, with parties strengthening their structures ahead of future elections.
In Nyanza, traditionally considered an ODM stronghold, recent engagements have drawn attention due to their potential impact on regional dynamics.
For now, Gachagua’s remarks add to the ongoing debate about political cooperation, party competition, and how alliances may shift as the 2027 election approaches.
