The latest discussion started when political analyst Kirika Githaiga made a statement online suggesting that former Interior CS Fred Matiang’i and Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka would never agree to form a government with Gachagua.
According to Githaiga, Gachagua allegedly makes excessive demands for influence and resources, which he claims could destabilize any administration.
The remarks quickly went viral, triggering strong reactions from Gachagua’s allies, critics, and former loyalists.
Not long after the comments surfaced, former Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu weighed in on the matter.
In his reaction, Wambugu wrote, “I see we are now sharing all over,” hinting that the claims had gained wide attention across political circles and social media.
Meanwhile, one of Gachagua’s former allies defended him, accusing critics of intentionally tarnishing his name.
He dismissed the allegations, saying the former deputy president is only being targeted because he refuses to “bow to State House pressure.”
This latest clash highlights growing divisions within the Mt. Kenya political bloc. While some leaders remain loyal to Gachagua, others are quietly exploring alternative alliances ahead of the 2027 race.
Sources have also accused Deputy President Kithure Kindiki’s supporters of secretly fueling online attacks against Gachagua to weaken his influence in the region.
Political observers say the ongoing battles are shaping a narrative that paints Gachagua as a polarizing figure.
His critics view him as a stumbling block to unity, while his supporters argue that he is simply fighting for fair representation of his region.
With the 2027 succession race fast approaching, analysts believe Gachagua faces a critical challenge—either rebuild bridges with influential leaders like Matiang’i and Kalonzo or risk being sidelined from high-level political deals.
