Fred Matiang’i, leader of the Jubilee Party, called for private resolution of differences after criticizing Rigathi Gachagua. Matiang’i claimed Gachagua’s arrogance and political ambitions could divide the opposition and weaken its chances against President William Ruto.
Gachagua responded by revealing his plan to move to the US if Ruto wins the 2027 General Election. He warned that the Mount Kenya division could help Ruto secure victory. Kuria, a former Cabinet Secretary, criticized Gachagua’s plan, questioning his commitment to Kenyans without similar privileges.
The tensions come amid growing divisions within the opposition. Matiang’i’s remarks followed Gachagua’s public criticism, which has deepened rifts. Kuria’s comments on social media highlighted concerns about loyalty and national interest.
This conflict reflects broader challenges in Kenyan politics, where internal unity is seen as crucial for challenging the ruling party. The 2027 election remains a key focus, with leaders vying to position themselves effectively. The situation underscores the importance of cohesion in opposition efforts.
