Rigathi Gachagua

Rigathi Gachagua attributes President William Ruto's loss in the Ol Kalou by-election to his perceived betrayal of the Mt Kenya region. Gachagua claims the defeat reflects growing voter disillusionment, particularly among those who supported Kenya Kwanza in 2022.

Voting has begun in the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election in Kenya, with UDA and DCP competing in a significant political contest in the Mt Kenya region. The by-election is viewed as a key test following Rigathi Gachagua's split with President William Ruto.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen criticized Rigathi Gachagua for claiming his life is in danger, calling the allegations 'clout-chasing' and dismissing them as a 'medical case'. Murkomen also condemned the ethnic profiling of senior security officers and defended Dig Lagat.

Rigathi Gachagua, former Deputy President, has challenged President William Ruto's administration to grant journalists access to Laikipia Air Base to verify the status of a controversial Ebola quarantine and isolation facility.

Rigathi Gachagua's lawyers have raised concerns over discrepancies between the High Court's impeachment judgment and the certified copy provided to parties. The issue centers on alleged 'missing pages' in the ruling.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua dismissed the High Court's Sh50 million award against the Senate as an insult and vowed to challenge the ruling at the Court of Appeal.

A three-judge bench in Kenya will rule on the constitutionality of the impeachment case against Rigathi Gachagua. The decision will determine his fate following challenges to his removal from office.
