The much-awaited announcement of a political party by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is in doubt following revelations that he will be seeking more time to form ''a party with a national outlook''.
If he postpones the anticipated announcement, it will be the third time he will be doing so as he had assured his supporters that he would disclose his political direction by the end of December which he later pushed to January and now tomorrow.
According to his allies, Gachagua was initially focused on forming a regional party to concentrate on Mt Kenya region but after leaders from other communities declared interests to join his political movement, he shelved his idea and started engaging representatives with the aim of forming a party with a national outlook, hence the delay.
Embakasi Central MP Benjamin Gathiru alias Major Donk said the former ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) deputy party leader was not in a hurry to launch a new party as there was no urgency.
