Classic political spy drama unfolding inside a rival party. Democracy for the Citizens Party leader Rigathi Gachagua claims members ditching his group for the United Democratic Alliance were actually President William Ruto's plants. He made the statement during a party retreat in Kilifi County, vowing to purge disloyal individuals.
Gachagua specifically called out Juja MP George Koimburi's recent exit, accusing him of demanding a direct nomination. He emphasized that his party uses democratic selection processes. Other notable defections include Githunguri legislator Gathoni wa Muchomba, former Nyeri town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu, and Maragwa lawmaker Mary Wamaua.
Nyeri governor Mutahi Kahiga has also caused uncertainty by attending a UDA meeting at Sagana State Lodge. President Ruto and Deputy President Kithure Kindiki are conducting a concerted outreach effort in the Mt. Kenya region. This movement aims to sway support within the populous area before future elections.
