President William Ruto has responded for the first time regarding the swirling rumors of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s possible impeachment.
Despite tensions within the ruling party, Ruto appears largely unbothered by the situation, focusing instead on maintaining unity and defusing the political infighting.
Gachagua, on the other hand, has been vocal about his concerns, urging Ruto to step in and manage the rising political tensions.
He expressed frustration that some of Ruto’s allies have been fueling the impeachment efforts, warning that if Ruto fails to protect him, it could damage the president’s credibility.
Gachagua believes that Ruto should stand by him, as promised, and prevent further political chaos within their government.
Political analysts believe that this brewing discord may lead to a deeper power struggle, with some warning that allowing such divisions could weaken Ruto’s administration.
Allies of Gachagua, particularly those from the Mt. Kenya region, have also expressed dissatisfaction, urging Ruto to intervene before the situation escalates.
As the political drama unfolds, key figures within the government have called for dialogue between the two leaders, emphasizing that such internal conflicts could hinder the country’s governance.
The coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Ruto and Gachagua can reconcile or if the impeachment efforts will gain more traction.
