Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is turning his hometown into a major political hub. He has been holding many meetings at his house in the village of Wamunyoro, and people are paying a lot of attention to what is happening there.
Gachagua was removed from his job a few months ago. Since then, he has been using his home to meet with other politicians, similar to what President William Ruto did before he was elected. Ruto also held many meetings at his house.
Some people think Gachagua is using his village home to avoid being followed by the government. He has said that government agents have been tracking him in the city. By staying in Wamunyoro, he can plan his next steps more freely.
Gachagua has met with leaders from his region and beyond. He recently had over twenty politicians visit him. He also welcomed a group of elders from another area. Many believe he is preparing to run for president in the future.
However, Gachagua faces a challenge. He was impeached from his last job. The law says impeached officials cannot run for office again. He is fighting this rule in court. If he wins, he may declare his plans to be the next president.
For now, Gachagua is focused on building support. He is finding candidates to challenge politicians who oppose him. He wants his allies to win many positions in the next election. This would give him a strong base of support.
Gachagua is expected to start a new political party soon. There are rumors he may partner with another leader, Kalonzo Musyoka. Together, they could form a powerful team to compete in 2027. The meetings in Wamunyoro are just the beginning of Gachagua's plan to reshape the country's politics.
