“He Visits Ruto at Night and Joins Opposition During the Day” – Politician Accuses Gachagua’s Ally.

A political dispute has emerged after a politician accused an ally of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua of maintaining links with President William Ruto while publicly associating with the opposition.

The politician reportedly claimed that the unnamed leader visits Ruto at night but presents himself as an opposition supporter during the day. The allegation has raised questions about political loyalty as leaders position themselves ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The accusation comes amid growing competition between government-aligned politicians and opposition figures seeking to build alliances before the next polls.

Gachagua, who leads the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), has been campaigning against Ruto’s administration and calling for political change. His allies have also criticised government policies and encouraged Kenyans to consider alternative leadership.

However, political relationships in Kenya have continued to attract scrutiny, with leaders from different camps sometimes facing accusations of holding private negotiations while publicly maintaining opposing positions.

Such claims can influence public debate, particularly when they concern politicians involved in coalition-building and regional mobilisation.

With the 2027 elections approaching, political parties are working to strengthen their support bases, attract influential figures and explore possible partnerships. The process has created tensions among leaders seeking to establish their positions within the emerging political landscape.

For Gachagua’s allies, maintaining public support will depend partly on how they respond to questions about their political commitments. For government supporters, allegations of secret cooperation with opposition figures can also become a point of political criticism.

Nevertheless, accusations about private meetings should be distinguished from verified evidence. A meeting between politicians does not, by itself, establish that they have reached an agreement or abandoned their publicly stated positions.

The identity of the politician who made the allegation, the person being accused, and the circumstances surrounding the reported remarks could not be independently confirmed for this article.

As political activity intensifies ahead of 2027, further details would be needed to establish the basis of the claim and whether the accused leader has responded.

For now, the allegation adds to the political exchanges surrounding Gachagua’s camp and the contest over alliances ahead of the next general election.
