DP Gachagua was tasked with uniting President William Ruto and his predecessor Uhuru Kenyatta after a bitter rivalry in the August polls.
Kikuyu elders and Kiama Kia Ama Association have bestowed DP Gachagua to Unite Uhuru and Ruto following bitter rivalry in the August 2022 polls.
The elders delivered the message to Gachagua during New Year’s Eve prayers at The Ol Kalou Arboretum in Nyandarua County on Saturday, December 31.
“Our aim is to end the bitter rivalry and divisions witnessed in the run-up to, and during the last elections,”
“We task the deputy president to spearhead the reconciliation process,” council chairman Wachira Kiago stated.
The elders announced that it is their duty to unify communities and leaders across the country.

The elders adding urgency to the matter announced that the reconciliation process will be prioritized in 2023.
“Uhuru, Ruto, and Rigathi are our leaders and they should be at the forefront showing us the way.”
“We cannot develop as a nation if the three leaders do not make peace and that is why we will prioritize this in 2023,” the council announced in a statement.
Uhuru and Ruto began falling out in 2018 when the former president sought political reconciliation with his then nemesis, Raila Odinga.
Following the handshake with Uhuru and Raila, Ruto’s close associates lost important stated appointment positions, further isolating him from the government.
Uhuru’s decision to back Raila for president added salt to the feud between the former president and Ruto.
Meanwhile, Ruto and Uhuru started working together after Ruto appointed him as peace envoy for the Great Lakes Region and the Horn of Africa.
