Impeached DP Rigathi Gachagua has explained why the Mt. Kenya region supported President William Ruto in the last general election.
He says Ruto crafted a powerful narrative that painted former President Uhuru Kenyatta as a “drunkard”, incompetent, and a leader not worth talking about. According to Gachagua, Ruto convinced the region that their true enemy was Raila Odinga, whom he branded a “mganga”.
He further claims that, president William Ruto argued that since Uhuru had brought Raila into the political fold and didnβt mean well for the region, the people of Mt. Kenya should instead trust Ruto to carry their destiny as their new leader.
