Gachagua clashes with Isaac Ruto in front of DP William Ruto
Gachagua clashes with Chama Cha Mashinani leader Isaac Ruto in front of DP William Ruto during the Kericho rally.
DP William Ruto’s Running mate Rigathi Gachagua fell out with Chama Cha Mashinani leader Isaac Ruto during the Kericho rally attended by Deputy President William Ruto.
During the Kericho rally on July 24, the sibling rivalry played out when Gachagua rooted for a six-piece voting pattern in favour of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.
Rigathi Gachagua argued that the move would help the DP, should he ascend to the Presidency, claiming that the Mt Kenya voters had agreed to vote in UDA candidates.
He urged Rift Valley residents, the DP’s home turf, to vote in only UDA candidates.
“At the mountain, we have decided that we will vote for William Ruto all the way from the MCA, MP, Senator to Governor. They will all be UDA.
“Yet, I learn that in Kericho and Rift Valley, you people are joking around. stop. In my backyard, all the independents are classified together with Azimio,” stated Gachagua.
However, the move did not go down well with the Chama Cha Mashinani leader Isaac Ruto arguing that it was wrong for Gachagua to impose UDA on the people of Rift Valley.
“I want to tell the programmer that he needs to allow all the other candidates to speak. Do not stop them. Let other candidates also do the same.
“We are going to vote as a block for the Presidential candidates. We shall fight for the other seats and that is true in Bomet and several other areas,” he said.
The Chama Cha Mashinani leader Isaac Ruto is running for Bomet gubernatorial seat on his own party affiliate of the Kenya Kwanza coalition.
Six-piece voting has always been a thorny issue within Kenya Kwanza that once placed its principals at loggerheads with the alliance’s presidential candidate William Ruto.
