Sylvanus Osoro attacked Rigathi Gachagua during a business meeting in Kisii. The lawmaker dismissed claims that Gachagua could remove President William Ruto from power. Osoro reminded crowds that Gachagua never finished his time as Deputy President. He told people that Gachagua should talk about serving half terms instead of full terms. The South Mugirango representative said Gachagua lacks real political support.
Osoro mocked Gachagua for failing to convince even five lawmakers to back him. He responded to warnings about election violence from the former Deputy President. Gachagua had compared possible 2027 troubles to the deadly 2007 conflicts. The current MP promised that the upcoming elections would stay peaceful. He rejected any suggestions that voting problems might cause national chaos.
Parliament removed Gachagua from office last October through impeachment proceedings. The former Deputy President fights his removal through court appeals. He remains eligible for public positions until judges make final decisions. Gachagua announced plans to seek the presidency despite his legal battles. Courts must decide whether his impeachment stands before he can campaign freely.
