Kenyatta’s Family New Move Shocks Gachagua

Deputy President Hon Rigathi Gachagua finds himself entangled in a conflict with former Head of State Hon Uhuru Kenyatta, though the specific reasons for this discord remain elusive.

Speculations arising from the publication suggest that Gachagua’s clash with Kenyatta is rooted in his ambition to assume leadership in the Mount Kenya region, a position currently held by Kenyatta.

Complicating matters, the Kenyatta family has taken a stance that could jeopardize Gachagua’s aspirations.

Publicly declaring their support for Kenyatta as the “kingpin” of the Mount Kenya region, the family effectively extinguished any hopes Gachagua may have harbored of claiming that influential position.

Furthermore, the family dismissed suggestions that Kenyatta should abstain from political involvement in Kenya.

If Kenyatta remains active in politics, Gachagua could face challenges in maintaining his influence in the region and realizing his political ambitions, particularly with the impending 2022 polls. This development holds potential ramifications for Gachagua’s political future.

It’s crucial to highlight that the exact reasons behind the conflict between Gachagua and Kenyatta are unclear, leaving Gachagua’s next steps in response to the Kenyatta family’s declaration of support uncertain.

Nonetheless, this development has significant implications for the political landscape in the Mount Kenya region and beyond.

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, hailing from Mathura, has recently faced increased scrutiny as his political trajectory garners attention.

Overcoming odds to become the Deputy President of Kenya, Gachagua’s candid and straightforward leadership style has drawn both acclaim and criticism. Speculations abound regarding potential tensions between him and President William Samoei Ruto due to his outspokenness.

While some envision Gachagua as a possible successor to Ruto by 2032 if their collaboration continues, politics remains unpredictable, and uncertainties persist. Gachagua’s political journey remains a focal point in the evolving dynamics of Kenyan politics.
