Leaders supporting former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua organized a political gathering in Gilgil town on Saturday. Senator John Methu from Nyandarua coordinated the rally as part of the ongoing WanTam movement. Gachagua participated remotely through a telephone call from Dallas, where he remains with former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang'i. The pair continues conducting meetings with Kenyan diaspora communities to build support for the 2027 elections. Methu amplified Gachagua's voice through loudspeakers, generating enthusiasm among attendees.
Police officers interrupted the event by deploying tear gas to scatter participants. Methu expressed defiance on social media platforms, vowing continued resistance despite official interference. Gachagua criticized law enforcement actions from his United States location, characterizing the disruption as evidence of government anxiety. He accused authorities of employing dictatorial tactics through suppression and intimidation methods. Both leaders pledged persistent opposition efforts regardless of official attempts to silence their political activities.
