Rigathi Gachagua, Kenya's former deputy president, accuses William Ruto of using his name to attract voters during his tour of Kisii and Nyamira. The DCP party leader promises to roll out a political strategy across all 290 constituencies ahead of the 10 August 2027 presidential election, according to Tuko.
Kenya's former deputy president Rigathi Gachagua, leader of the DCP party, accused President William Ruto on Monday, 9 November, of using his name and reputation to attract voters in Kisii and Nyamira counties. In a message posted on his official X account, he said Ruto's tour was repeating campaign methods used during the 2022 election, according to Tuko.
Rigathi Gachagua said William Ruto's government had provided the Gusii region with neither roads, water, electricity nor an airport in four years. He also criticised a project for a specialised cancer hospital, claiming that its launch had already been organised several times without any visible results, Tuko reports.
The DCP leader pledged to pursue a political strategy that he described as a «full dose» across Kenya's 290 constituencies ahead of the general election on 10 August 2027. He presented an earlier political confrontation in Ol Kalou, Nyandarua County, as merely a rehearsal for the campaign he intends to wage against William Ruto.
