Uhuru allies plan to Ruto a one-term President as they inform him to brace for a titanic battle in the Mt Kenya region.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s loyalists in the Mt Kenya region have told Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to brace for a titanic battle for his survival as the region’s kingpin and possible successor to President William Ruto.
They have sworn to make President Ruto’s administration a one-term one as their major goal.
Additionally, they have claimed to have a complex plan that will see the Mt. Kenya region create its own powerful political party, complete with fresh grassroots leaders, in order to grab power.
However, DP Gachagua laughed off the threats, saying he felt sorry for “daydreamers” who are out to confuse people from the Mountain.
One of the Uhuru allies former Education and Sports Chief Administrative Secretary Zack Kinuthia in an interview with Daily Nation said: “We in Mr. Kenyatta’s corner are happy with Mr. Gachagua’s consistent public goofs manifest in divisive utterances and the way he boxes his boss into a corner of discomfort.”
“By 2025, Mt Kenya will be having a political identity branded in a solid party and capitalize on the failings of Mr. Gachagua to reach out for a new alliance that will sweep Kenya Kwanza out of power,” he added.
He added that soon the Mt Kenya people will demand that they pray on their own without the President presiding.
Mr. Kinuthia said the Mt Kenya region is headed for political disillusionment owing to the power plays that have emerged among its county point men.
This will end up segmenting voters to a point where they will, in 2027, be seeking an alternative formation to unite in.
He said he anticipates a situation where President Ruto will panic about divisions in Mt Kenya and abandon them in favour of the Western region under Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi.
“That is when we will seize the moment and for example, court Mr. Mudavadi to be our presidential candidate, deputized by someone from the Mountain. And it is possible since that is exactly what we are scheming,” he said.

Embattled Jubilee Party Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni said Mr. Kenyatta’s diehard supporters in the Mt Kenya region will not be derailed and will fight tooth and nail to remain loyal to the cause of Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition party and its principals.
“Those with a price are free to go to the political black market now live in State House, and all you need is to go to the gates holding up a placard declaring your price and you shall be bought.”
Kirinyaga Jubilee Party Chairman Mureithi Kang’ara said those who seek to sink Mr. Kenyatta’s loyalists in Mt Kenya region will be shocked once the elaborate plans are laid bare.
“I urge our loyalists to remain firm and committed to the broader cause … Let us not be dragged into petty wars that are only serving to make our detractors happy. We should now come together, audit ourselves and with the guidance and support of the retired president, use the five years ahead of us to scheme on a comeback,” he said.
There are emerging narratives about power plays in the region being pushed through the media, he said, “but I urge all of you not to focus too much on power and positions”.
Mr. Kang’ara promised those who remain steadfast in Mr. Kenyatta’s corner that they will be rewarded handsomely and will not regret standing firm on political principles as opposed to the “mad rush to the government side, hence killing ideological and value-based politics in the country”.
