Gachagua Finally Speaks After Uhuru Joined Him at the Requiem Mass of Beatrice

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has made a strong statement about his relationship with former President Uhuru Kenyatta, suggesting that attempts by certain individuals to create a political and personal division between them did not succeed.

Speaking about their relationship, Gachagua expressed confidence that despite the efforts of people who allegedly wanted to drive a wedge between them, their connection remained intact.

“Someone tried to come between Uhuru Kenyatta and me, but who is God?” Gachagua remarked.

His statement has attracted attention because of the political history surrounding the two leaders and the changing relationships within Kenya’s political establishment.

Uhuru Kenyatta and Gachagua served together in government after the 2022 General Election. However, their political positions and relationships with other leaders have been subjects of public discussion, particularly following the transition from the Jubilee administration to President William Ruto’s government.

Gachagua’s remarks appear to communicate his belief that certain forces attempted to weaken his relationship with the former Head of State. By invoking God, he presented the situation as one in which human efforts could not determine the final outcome.

The statement also raises questions about the political significance of his relationship with Uhuru as the country gradually approaches the 2027 General Election.

Uhuru remains an influential figure in Kenyan politics, particularly within the Mount Kenya region, where his political opinions and decisions continue to attract attention.

For Gachagua, maintaining a relationship with the former president could carry political significance, especially as different political formations position themselves ahead of the next election.

However, the statement should not automatically be interpreted as confirmation of a formal political agreement between the two leaders. Their actual political plans and level of cooperation will become clearer through their public engagements and future decisions.

Nevertheless, Gachagua’s remarks have reopened debate about the relationship between the two leaders and whether they could find common ground in Kenya’s evolving political landscape.

As political realignments continue, Kenyans will be watching closely to see whether this relationship could influence the country’s political direction ahead of 2027.
