Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has alleged that President William Ruto plans to postpone the next general elections to extend his stay in office beyond the constitutional timelines. Speaking in Mwiki PCEA church in Kasarani, the former DP alleged that there were plans to postpone the elections following the recent spate of attacks targetted at him. Responding to an earlier incident where goons stormed the church event, momentarily disrupting the service. According to Gachagua, it was from the recent spate of attacks that the government was intending to incite his supporters into violence to have an opportunity to push the country into chaos.

I want our people to stay peaceful so that we do not ban our country," Gachagua maintained. ''I will not agree to be drawn into responding to violence because I can see that is what they are trying to do.
They are trying to push me to react so that we can burn the country for them to have an opportunity to postpone the elections.'' Gachagua's comments came moments after gunshots and chaos filled the air in Nairobi's Kasarani estate after security officers associated with him fired into the air to disperse hundreds of youths who had stormed the PCEA Kasarani East church.
