In a statement shared on November 12, 2026, Alai argued that President Ruto had previously operated under the assumption that Uhuru was against him because the Head of State was working with Gachagua.
According to the Nairobi legislator, the public reconciliation between Uhuru and Gachagua has forced the Head of State to confront a different political reality.
Alai's remarks follow a joint appearance by Kenyatta and Gachagua on November 11, 2026, at the requiem mass for Beatrice Wambui Muturi in Lang'ata, which was also attended by Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa. During the service, the leaders emphasised unity and addressed past political alignments.
Gachagua dismissed past divisions as the work of external interference, declaring that nobody can succeed in coming between him and Kenyatta. He further stated that the Mt Kenya region made a mistake by ignoring Kenyatta's warning in 2022 regarding President Ruto.
Kenyatta also urged leaders to move past history and focus on the future through collective strength ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The event also featured a humorous exchange between Uhuru and Gachagua regarding a past campaign fund repayment and plans to visit Wamunyoro.
