Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has disclosed that several leaders from the Mount Kenya region are likely to seek re-election due to changes in political alliances.
In an exclusive interview with KTN News, Gachagua explained the strategy behind postponing the unveiling of his new party.
He noted that the party was strategically awaiting the formation of the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission. "Our political party is ready, and for strategic reasons, I did not want to unveil it before May. We wanted the IEBC to be constituted because several of our Senators and MPs plan to resign from UDA, join our new party, and contest in by-elections," said Gachagua.
He added; "As of today, 139 MCAs want to resign from UDA and go for byelections.We are going to force a little general election after IEBC is constituted". Gachagua alleged that the ruling United Democratic Alliance party has lost its massive following in the Mt.
