Gachagua suggested that efforts by unnamed individuals to create a rift between him and Uhuru had failed, insisting that their connection remained intact.
“Someone tried to come between Uhuru Kenyatta and me, but who is God?” he remarked.
The statement has attracted attention given the political history between the two leaders and the changes that have shaped their relationships with other political figures in recent years.
Uhuru and Gachagua served in the same government after the 2022 General Election, when William Ruto became president. However, their political paths have since been a subject of public discussion.
By making the remarks, Gachagua appeared to dismiss the idea that outside efforts could permanently damage his relationship with the former Head of State.
His comments have also renewed interest in the political significance of their association as leaders begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Uhuru remains a prominent figure in Kenyan politics, particularly in the Mount Kenya region, where his views on national leadership and political alignments continue to attract attention.
Gachagua, meanwhile, has remained active in opposition politics, making his relationship with the former president a subject of interest amid ongoing political realignments.
However, Gachagua’s statement does not establish that the two leaders have entered into a formal political agreement or settled on a shared strategy for the next election.
Their appearance together and the former Deputy President’s remarks have nevertheless brought their relationship back into the political conversation.
Whether the renewed public engagement will translate into closer political cooperation remains to be seen as the 2027 election approaches.
