How Gachagua And Karua Plan To Remove Ruto From Power

The Kenyan political scene continues to **unravel** with each day showing different twists of events. Given there’s no permanent friend or enemy, just common interests, today the unthinkable happened.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua paid a courtesy call to Narc Kenya Party Leader Martha Karua at her rural home in Kirinyaga County on Saturday, January 25, 2025, where they agreed to work together with the common goal of dethroning President William Ruto in 2027.

Speaking at the event that brought together the two former political nemeses, Gachagua stated that they had held a meeting in which they agreed on how they will be working ahead of the 2027 general elections.

He said that his political camp will be regularly consulting Karua based on her extensive experience in politics, public service, and legal matters.

Gachagua further stated that his camp will also work with other like-minded Kenyans.

Gachagua thanks Karua

Gachagua also expressed his gratitude to Karua for hosting him together with his team, noting that he would leave Kirinyaga a happy man for having reunited with his 2022 presidential election opponent.

He expressed confidence that the country would be liberated if Kenyans decided to join hands and work together.

“We have had a good conversation, and we have agreed that going forward we are going to work together with other Kenyans. I want to assure you that many Kenyans are looking for leadership. We will work together with like-minded Kenyans, patriots, and people who care for this country. We shall benefit a lot from her counsel; we will consult her regularly alongside other Kenyans of goodwill so that we liberate this country,” Gachagua stated.

Gachagua went ahead to call for the process of reconstituting the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to be expedited after the courts gave a nod.

According to Gachagua, IEBC should be in place as soon as possible to allow the pending by-elections in various constituencies and wards to take place.

He further argued that a section of Kenyans will use the opportunity to recall their Members of Parliament (MPs) who have failed in their mandate.

Gachagua’s call on youth

Gachagua also used his visit to Karua’s home to call on the Kenyan youth to continue keeping the government in check and to register as voters so that they can realize the change they are yearning for through the ballot come 2027.

“I want to tell the Gen Zs that what you are doing on smartphones is very good, and I want to encourage you, and I want to say congratulations. But that is not enough; the actual transformation of this country would be on the ballot. The public awareness on the smartphone is good, but the final transformation of getting good leadership will be on the ballot, so I want to encourage the Gen Zs to register as voters,” Gachagua said.

Gachagua, who was impeached last year on multiple charges, has been actively engaging with the Mt Kenya region, seeking to consolidate political support ahead of the 2027 elections.
