Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua made a strategic appearance in Bomet County on Monday morning, a region widely considered President William Ruto's stronghold in Rift Valley. His visit aimed to garner support ahead of the 2027 General Election.
In Mulot, Bomet, a large crowd gathered by the roadside to listen to him, offering a warm welcome as he began his speech.
However, as he spoke, parts of the audience suddenly began chanting "Wantam, Wantam," leaving Gachagua visibly surprised. He even paused to clarify, asking if they were actually saying "Tutam" in reaction to the unexpected chants.
Expressing his astonishment, Gachagua noted that the people of Rift Valley, traditionally seen as Ruto's base, were now echoing sentiments typically associated with the opposition.
He pointed out a growing discontent with the current government, claiming the region had been overlooked and reassuring the crowd that their economic conditions would improve once the opposition takes charge.
Joining him were prominent opposition figures like Fred Matiang'i, Kalonzo Musyoka, and Eugene Wamalwa, showcasing a united front and signaling a tightening bond among opposition members.
