Sifuna Dealt Another Major Blow as Gachagua Makes This Bold Statement

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has revealed what must happen before the Mount Kenya region can support Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s presidential ambitions ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Speaking during a face-to-face engagement with Sifuna in Thika, Kiambu County, on November 7, Gachagua said the region would not repeat what he described as its mistake in the 2022 elections, when residents overwhelmingly voted for President William Ruto.

Gachagua made it clear that Mount Kenya’s votes would not be given to any presidential candidate simply because of political friendships or promises.

He insisted that any leader seeking support from the region must first undergo serious scrutiny and consultations with local political leaders and residents.

According to Gachagua, voters must carefully examine a candidate’s integrity, leadership record and ability to address the challenges facing ordinary Kenyans before making their decision.

His remarks appeared to send a strong message to Sifuna and other politicians seeking support from the influential Mount Kenya voting bloc.

The former Deputy President also stressed the importance of making informed political decisions instead of blindly supporting candidates during election campaigns.

Sifuna has increasingly attracted attention among opposition supporters because of his outspoken criticism of the Kenya Kwanza administration.

The meeting in Thika comes as political leaders begin positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 presidential contest.

Whether Sifuna can meet Gachagua’s expectations and win the confidence of Mount Kenya voters remains a major question as opposition realignments continue.
