Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Saturday, January 11, 2025, hosted a team of young political candidates preparing to vie for the positions of Member of County Assembly (MCA), across the Mt Kenya region.
Taking to his official X account, the former second in command revealed that he had received a visit from the Executive Committee of the Young Candidates Caucus (YCC) at his rural home in Wamunyoro, Nyeri.
According to Gachagua, YCC is a team of young candidates whom he has termed as Gen Z, who are planning to give a try to the mucky field of politics in the coming 2027 general elections.
“This morning, I received a visit from the Executive Committee of the Young Candidates Caucus (YCC). YCC is a team of young candidates – GenZ – preparing to vie for MCA positions across the region,” Gachagua wrote on his X account.
He went ahead to reveal that the candidates had walked him through the challenges young people face as they aspire for leadership, and the proposals of how leaders can assist them make the process easier.
Gachagua further stated that he had agreed to incorporate their suggestions and some of them into his plans for 2025.
“They walked me through the challenges young people are facing as they aspire for leadership, and the proposals of how we can assist them make this process easier. We agreed to incorporate their suggestions and some of them into our plans for 2025,” Gachagua stated.
Adding: “I congratulated them for stepping out of their comfort zones and wished them all the best. I also quietly challenged them to expand their leadership and ensure they incorporate ladies into the EXeCom. The consultations continue.”
Gachagua’s rural home has been busy for the past few days, receiving guests from within and outside Mt Kenya region.
He convened a meeting with a delegation of Elders from Kajiado West at his Wamunyoro residence in Nyeri County on Wednesday, January 8, 2025.
