Why it matters
This political maneuver signals a deepening rift within Kenyan political alliances and the start of early campaigning for the next presidential cycle.
Former Deputy President and Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has intensified his political mobilisation in the South Rift, calling on Maasai and Mount Kenya communities living in Narok to unite and vote out President William Ruto and his allies in next year's General Election. Gachagua made the call on Monday during a political tour of Narok East, where he sought to consolidate support for his party following what he described as strategic gains in recent by-elections. "Today is exactly one year to the General Election. We must do what we must do to change the administration for the betterment of our country, and Narok East is a midwife to this dream," Gachagua said.
