Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has fired back at acclaimed Kikuyu gospel artiste Ngaruiya Junior over his claims that he denied him a party ticket ahead of his intended bid to contest the parliamentary seat in Subukia during the 2027 general elections.
Speaking during a church service at AIPCA Kihoya in Murang’a County on Sunday, May 25, 2025, Gachagua ridiculed Ngaruiya for accusing him in front of Deputy President Kindiki and unapologetically confirmed that he did indeed deny him the ticket because he does not meet the merit or qualifications required.
