Former Bahati Member of Parliament Kimani Ngunjiri was overcome with emotion during his visit to Karen Hospital, where Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is currently hospitalized.
The two leaders share a long-standing political bond, and Ngunjiri’s visible distress reflects their close relationship.
Gachagua’s hospitalization has triggered concern among his supporters, with many fearing for his health and political future during a time of heightened tension in Kenya’s political scene.
Ngunjiri, who has been a staunch ally of Gachagua, previously warned against political maneuvers aimed at sidelining the Deputy President.
He cautioned that any attempt to impeach Gachagua would result in significant unrest, especially in the Mt. Kenya region, where Gachagua maintains a strong influence.
Ngunjiri’s loyalty was again on display at the hospital, where his emotional reaction underscored the personal ties that exist within Kenya’s political elite.
This incident also comes amidst political uncertainty, with rumors circulating about divisions between Gachagua and President William Ruto. Ngunjiri has consistently advocated for unity, urging the leaders to put aside their differences for the sake of national stability.
His presence at the hospital reflects a broader concern among Gachagua’s supporters about the potential fallout from the Deputy President’s health and the implications for the political landscape in Kenya.
