“The Devil Has Been Defeated” Gachagua’s Powerful Message After Sitting With Uhuru Kenyatta

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has delivered a powerful message of reconciliation after finding himself sitting alongside former President Uhuru Kenyatta, describing the moment as a sign that political divisions can finally be overcome.

Gachagua, who made the remarks during a gathering attended by several political leaders, expressed excitement at the sight of leaders who were previously divided now sharing the same space.

“The devil has been defeated. Look at us now, sitting together with Uhuru Kenyatta like one family,” Gachagua said.

His statement attracted attention because of the political history between the two leaders, particularly following the fallout that characterised the final months of their time in government.

Uhuru, who served as Kenya’s fourth president between 2013 and 2022, and Gachagua, who served as Deputy President under President William Ruto, were once associated with different political camps after the 2022 General Election.

Their political differences became more pronounced as Gachagua emerged as one of the strongest critics of the current administration following his impeachment in October 2024.

The latest encounter has therefore sparked conversations about political reconciliation, changing alliances and the possibility of former political rivals finding common ground.

Gachagua’s description of the gathering as a family moment suggests that personal relationships and national unity should take precedence over political disagreements.

The former Deputy President has increasingly positioned himself at the centre of opposition politics as Kenya approaches the 2027 General Election, making his interactions with influential political figures particularly significant.

Uhuru, on the other hand, remains an influential figure in Kenyan politics despite leaving the presidency.

Although the meeting does not automatically signal a formal political alliance between the two leaders, Gachagua’s remarks have added another interesting dimension to the country’s evolving political landscape.

With political realignments gathering momentum ahead of 2027, Kenyans will be watching closely to see whether the reunion translates into deeper political cooperation.
