Gachagua 2027 Strategy Call

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has warned the Western Kenya region to relook at its voting trends.

Speaking during an interview with Western Kenya vernacular radio stations on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, Gachagua stated that Western is a vote-rich block, but their votes do not help the Mulembe Nation in any way.

According to Gachagua, the region has a chance of producing the country’s president, but their voting trend has always divided the votes.
“Mulembe Nation inaeza kupata nafasi ya kuchukua ufalme wa Kenya lakini itategemea vile mulembe itajipanga kwa sababu hii urais ya Kenya huwezi chukua tu namna hivyo. Muungane, muongee sauti moja, kwa sababu hapo mbeleni mnapiganga kura mara tatu. Kura yenu haisaidii Mulembe Nation, kwa sababu mnagawagawa. Wengine wanapatia Raila Odinga, wengine wanapeana kwa Musalia na wengine wanapeana huko. Inakuwa haina maana,” Gachagua argued.

Gachagua’s interview that targeted the Mulembe Nation audience comes just a week after President William Ruto spent five days in Western Kenya, launching development projects and engaging with residents in a bid to win over a region that overwhelmingly backed Raila Odinga in 2022.

The second deputy president also sought to undo President Ruto’s wins in the region, as he maintained his stance that the head of state had betrayed the people.
