Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has raised speculation about his potential 2027 presidential ambitions, with recent comments suggesting he may be positioning himself for a run at the highest office in the land. Speaking at an event in Nyeri, Gachagua, known for his candid and direct speeches, hinted at his future political plans, even as the country is embroiled in a wave of impeachment cases.
In his address, Gachagua expressed confidence in the face of ongoing political turbulence, stating that the ongoing impeachment cases would not sway his focus or detract from his mission. "I’ve seen what is happening with the impeachment cases, and I am watching closely. These are political moves, and they will not distract me from my mission. The people are the ones who will decide their next leader," Gachagua declared.
His remarks come at a time when political tensions are rising between the executive and members of Parliament, many of whom are currently involved in various impeachment processes. The country's political landscape has been marked by increasing polarization, and Gachagua’s statement is seen by many as a calculated signal of his readiness to vie for the presidency when the opportunity arises.
“We are in a season of change, and change brings challenges. But let me be clear – I will be there, and the people know who stands with them,” Gachagua continued, leaving little doubt about his long-term political aspirations.
While Gachagua has yet to officially announce his candidacy for the 2027 presidential election, his recent comments suggest that he is actively positioning himself as a key player in Kenya's future political direction. His involvement in the ongoing impeachment debates only strengthens the narrative that he is readying himself for a defining moment in the country’s political history.
As Gachagua keeps his eyes on the future, Kenyan political observers are closely monitoring his every move, with many speculating that the former deputy president may become a formidable contender in the upcoming election.
