After the election is before the election!

After the election is before the election! A little over two years have passed since the last election, and the gentlemen are already starting their next campaign. Former Vice President Rigathi Gachagua, who was removed from office, now declares that he can make ODM leader Raila Odinga president of Kenya, but that he must agree to work with him and other opposition leaders. That certainly won't happen; Raila and Ruto signed an agreement a few days ago. Raila is no longer part of the opposition; from now on, he supports Ruto. Gachagua said that the voters of Mount Kenya are ready to support Odinga so that he can defeat President Ruto in the 2027 elections. Gachagua regularly consults with former President Uhuru Kenyatta on this issue. Gachagua reminded Odinga that "we in the Mount Kenya region have shown that we can support someone outside our community, considering that in the 2022 general elections, we gave 87 percent of our votes to Ruto and the rest went to you (Raila)." Gachagua said he is currently forming a coalition to challenge President Ruto in 2027 with "myself, Odinga, (Wiper Leader)." And current President William Ruto is also campaigning. After Ruto toured Nairobi, the Mount Kenya region was now expecting the visit. Rigathi Gachagua was dismissed as Vice President in October 2024. This move divided the electorate between supporters of the two former allies, who now became rivals. President Ruto was able to gain significant support in the region through his United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party in the August 2022 elections. The voters of former President Uhuru Kenyatta and his preferred successor, Raila Odinga, were rejected. Ruto received 47 percent of his 7.2 million votes from this region. After Gachagua was dismissed and replaced by Prof. Kithure Kindiki, Gachagua launched a campaign against its former boss. Gachagua has vowed to ensure Ruto remains in power for only one term. Gachagua is expected to launch its own political party in May. In preparation for the visit, Kindiki, the current vice president, held a consultation meeting with 54 MPs at his residence, urging them to prepare to receive the president.
