Gachagua Leaves Uhuru Kenyatta in Stitches as He Regrets Supporting Ruto in 2022 Despite Earlier Warning

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has sparked political conversation after sharing his sentiments about former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s decision to support President William Ruto during the 2022 General Election.

Gachagua, who served as Ruto’s deputy before their political fallout, appeared to leave Uhuru in laughter as the two leaders met during the requiem mass of Beatrice Wambui Muturi.

The encounter has attracted attention amid growing political realignments ahead of the 2027 General Election, with Gachagua increasingly positioning himself as one of the leading critics of the Kenya Kwanza administration.

The former Deputy President has repeatedly questioned the direction taken by the current government, accusing Ruto of failing to fulfil promises made to Kenyans during the 2022 campaigns.

His remarks have also revived discussions about the political decisions that shaped the 2022 presidential contest, particularly Uhuru’s controversial decision to back Ruto’s main opponent, Raila Odinga, despite their earlier political differences.

Gachagua’s interaction with Uhuru has therefore attracted interest, especially considering the political divisions that have emerged since Ruto assumed office.

The meeting between the two leaders comes at a time when opposition figures are intensifying consultations and strategising ahead of the next General Election.

However, the exact remarks exchanged between Gachagua and Uhuru, including the circumstances surrounding the reported warning, would need further confirmation.
