Bad News for Ruto as Gachagua Declares Kalonzo One of Kenya’s Most Principled Leaders

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has praised Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, describing him as one of Kenya’s most principled leaders while making pointed remarks about President William Ruto.

Gachagua made his position clear in a statement in which he urged Kalonzo to distance himself from what he described as Ruto’s political affairs.

“Kalonzo is one of the most principled leader in Kenya, wachana na mambo ya RUTO,” Gachagua said.

The remarks highlight the political relationship between Gachagua and Kalonzo as leaders continue to position themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Kalonzo has been associated with opposition efforts to challenge Ruto’s administration, while Gachagua has also emerged as a vocal critic of the President following their political fallout.

Gachagua’s public praise of Kalonzo could attract attention because of the significance of cooperation among opposition leaders as they discuss their political strategies.

The former deputy president’s remarks also reflect the continuing exchanges between leaders aligned with different political camps. Questions surrounding opposition unity, leadership and possible cooperation are expected to remain part of Kenya’s political debate as the next election approaches.

However, Gachagua’s statement alone does not establish whether the two leaders have reached any formal political agreement.

Kalonzo has yet to be quoted responding directly to these particular remarks.

The statement is likely to keep attention on the relationship between Gachagua and Kalonzo and their respective positions in the evolving political landscape.
