Mt Kenya Elders Hold Night Meeting to Reconcile Uhuru, Kindiki, Gachagua and Kalonzo Ahead of 2027

A group of 25 Mt Kenya elders has reportedly held a private night meeting aimed at reconciling key political figures as preparations for the 2027 General Election gather momentum.

The meeting took place on the night of October 7, 2026, at the Kiambu County residence of Kung’u Muigai, the patron of Kiama Kia Ma, according to a report by Nation.

The elders reportedly identified former President Uhuru Kenyatta, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka as influential figures in the region’s political discussions ahead of the next election.

Their reported initiative comes amid continued conversations about political unity and cooperation among leaders whose influence extends across different communities.

Kalonzo’s inclusion in the discussions was linked to the support of the Akamba community, which the report associates with the broader Mt Kenya voting bloc. His presence alongside the three other politicians highlights the wider political considerations surrounding potential alliances ahead of 2027.

The meeting also comes at a time when calls for unity have featured in public statements by several of the leaders mentioned.

Uhuru, Kindiki, Gachagua and Kalonzo have, in recent months, been associated with discussions about bringing leaders and communities together, although their political positions and interests may differ.

However, details about the specific resolutions reached during the elders’ meeting, including whether the four leaders have agreed to participate in a formal reconciliation process, remain unclear from the information provided.
