Former Deputy President and Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has intensified his political mobilisation in the South Rift, calling on Maasai and Mount Kenya communities living in Narok to unite and vote out President William Ruto and his allies in next year’s General Election.
Gachagua made the call on Monday during a political tour of Narok East, where he sought to consolidate support for his party following what he described as strategic gains in recent by-elections.
“Today is exactly one year to the General Election. We must do what we must do to change the administration for the betterment of our country, and Narok East is a midwife to this dream,” Gachagua said.
Addressing a gathering at Nairagie Enkare, the former Deputy President said the journey to remove President Ruto from office had begun, repeating his criticism of the administration over its economic record, development promises, land issues and the deaths of young people during protests.
Gachagua also announced that he would address the nation on Tuesday under the theme “Ruto at 4”, promising to give his assessment of the President’s four years in office, including what he said the administration had delivered and what it had failed to achieve.
The DCP leader turned his political firepower on Narok East MP Lemanken Aramat, urging voters to reject him in the 2027 election.
