Former Bahati MP Kimani Ngunjiri has distanced himself politically from former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, citing ideological differences, and a growing discomfort with what he described as 'tribal political posturing.' Speaking during an interview on Spice FM on Wednesday, Ngunjiri criticised Gachagua's recent rhetoric, warning that it mirrors the kind of politics that could polarise the country ahead of the 2027 elections.

The former MP likened the current political environment to the one preceding the 2007 post-election violence, when ethnic divisions erupted following the disputed presidential results. "I'm one of those people who have been converted.

I don't use abusive language in politics," said Ngunjiri.

Ngunjiri expressed concern over Gachagua's increasingly combative style, which has created unnecessary tension.
