Gachagua Reveals Ruto’s Alleged Plan to Appoint Kalonzo Musyoka Running Mate Ahead of 2027 Elections

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has sparked fresh political debate after claiming President William Ruto wants Kalonzo Musyoka to join government.

Gachagua alleged that Ruto was considering bringing the Wiper Party leader into his administration and potentially offering him the deputy president position.

Speaking during church service, the Democracy for Citizens Party leader addressed the possibility of Kalonzo joining the government ahead of the 2027 General Election.

He claimed to have received information suggesting that the president was interested in securing Kalonzo’s support through a government position.

In his remarks, Gachagua appeared to challenge the government to openly pursue negotiations with Kalonzo rather than keeping the alleged discussions behind closed doors.

The former deputy president also invited government representatives to visit his Wamunyoro residence if they genuinely wanted Kalonzo to join their political arrangement.

Gachagua said the government should come to Wamunyoro so they could discuss the matter, suggesting that he was ready to engage on the issue.

His remarks introduced another political dimension to the ongoing discussions about possible alliances ahead of the next presidential election.

Kalonzo has remained an influential opposition figure, with his political position attracting considerable attention as different camps explore possible partnerships.

The Wiper leader previously served as Vice President under former President Mwai Kibaki and has repeatedly expressed interest in national leadership.

His potential involvement in a government arrangement could significantly influence opposition politics and the broader political calculations ahead of 2027.

The remarks come amid increasing political manoeuvres as politicians begin positioning themselves ahead of the August 2027 General Election.

Ruto’s administration could benefit politically from attracting influential opposition figures, particularly those commanding substantial support in different regions.

The former deputy president has continued positioning himself as an influential voice in the Mount Kenya region while criticising Ruto’s political strategies.

As political discussions intensify, Kalonzo’s next move could become an important factor in shaping alliances and determining the country’s 2027 presidential contest.
