KANU Official Warns Sifuna Against Joint Rally With Gachagua After What He Spotted at Wiper-DCP Rally

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has received a pointed piece of advice from KANU National Spokesperson Tony Gachoka: stay away from joint rallies with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Gachoka, who also wants to become Nairobi governor, says a recent event featuring Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka convinced him of the danger.

Gachoka said the sea of supporters told the real story. By his account, people in Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) caps and colours clearly outnumbered those dressed in Wiper attire.

He believes this shows that Gachagua’s party is gaining ground fast at gatherings meant to unite leaders from different political camps. In his view, such events risk becoming a stage for the DCP rather than for the allies who share it.

Gachoka warned that Gachagua could use shared platforms to promote his own party and push his personal ambitions. Sifuna, he said, should think carefully before tying his political future to such arrangements.

The KANU spokesperson added that his concern is not new, since he has already urged the senator, both privately and in public, to skip the rally. “I advised Edwin Sifuna privately and publicly not to attend this joint rally. Be strategic!” he said.

Gachoka also claimed that Gachagua is gearing up for a 2027 presidential run. He cautioned the Linda Mwananchi movement against brushing aside that possibility, saying: “Riggy G is preparing for a presidential bid and Linda Mwananchi MUST BEWARE!”

His remarks come as opposition leaders weigh up the idea of working together before the 2027 General Election. As those conversations continue, the question of who holds the most influence, and who will carry the presidential ticket, is fast becoming the most delicate issue on the table.
