Gachagua Says He’ll Dethrone Natembeya If Sifuna Wins Flagbearer Slot Shortly as He Was Given Role

Political posturing has taken a dramatic turn in Lavington following sensational declarations made during the launch of Edwin Sifuna’s Linda Mwananchi Movement.

According to official reports and video updates published by A.M Media, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dropped a major political bombshell regarding the leadership of Sifuna’s presidential campaign machinery.

Addressing an energized audience packed with delegates and opposition principals, Gachagua has publicly stated that he will personally step in to replace Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya should Sifuna secure the ultimate opposition presidential ticket.

Gachagua’s bold declaration has come shortly after the party hierarchy has officially assigned Natembeya the pivotal role of Chairperson for the Linda Mwananchi Presidential Campaign alongside his appointment as Chair of the Board of Trustees.

Speaking in Kiswahili, Gachagua has asserted that if Sifuna becomes the flagbearer, he will personally remove Natembeya from the Presidential Campaign Director position and assume full personal command of the entire campaign strategy.

His unexpected comments, captured by A.M Media as “Sifuna akichaguliwa kuwa flagbearer wetu, mimi mwenyewe nitatoa Natembeya kwenye nafasi aliyopewa ya Presidential Campaign Director na kuongoza kampeni hiyo mimi mwenyewe,” have sent shockwaves across the venue.

The statement has triggered a mix of lighthearted laughter, astonished murmurs, and intense speculation among attending delegates and political observers.

Gachagua’s willingness to personally manage Sifuna’s presidential bid has underscored his deep commitment to ensuring a formidable nationwide campaign structure.

The declaration has added an intriguing layer of internal political competition, highlighting how top coalition leaders are already vying for supreme influence over the movement’s electoral machinery.

Ultimately, Gachagua’s fiery declaration has injected fresh excitement into the ongoing opposition realignments.

By asserting his readiness to take direct control of the campaign helm from Natembeya, he has forcefully signaled his political weight while reinforcing his intent to remain a central driver of the 2027 presidential contest.
