Gachagua Visits Karua's Home

Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua played host to former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua at her home in Gichugu, Murang'a country.
Whilst the leaders did not immediately comment on the agenda of their meeting at the time of publication, political seers already translated it as a meetup to strategize on the politics ahead of the 2027 election.

The meeting comes weeks after Karua hinted at working with Gachagua regardless of the political and ideological differences.

Karua acknowledged that she had earlier been irritated by the actions of Gachagua while in government, adding that they were not enemies.

"I have not talked to him (Gachagua), and he has not sought me out, but I cannot rule out talking to anybody. He is not my enemy. Kenya has one common enemy and he is called William Ruto and his regime. The fact that I have not talked to him does not make him my enemy," she stated.

"He may have done things that irritated or annoyed me but that is life. People can always fix the broken but at the moment we were not talking."

Meanwhile, Gachagua has been meeting leaders at his Nyeri home, picking their minds on a possible formation that would challenge Ruto.

It is, however, not lost that Gachagau cannot run for office as an impeached person; the Kenyan constitution bars an impeached leader from holding a public office, whether elective or appointive.

In December last year, the former deputy president hinted at backing Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka in the 2027 presidential election.
