Gachagua Ready To Work With Raila For 2027 Elections
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has stated that he cannot rule out collaborating with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga ahead of the 2027 elections.
Gachagua told KTN on Monday that he is open to working with any leader who wants the best for Kenya’s future.
“I am open to working with anybody who means well for the country. I want to tell supporters of Raila from Nyanza not to fight the people from Mt Kenya because we are not their enemies,” he said.

Gachangua stated that people from Mount Kenya only had issues with the Kenya Kwanza administration.
“We are not opposed to working with Raila. Already, we are working with Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa and all like-minded people,” he maintained.
He said it was incorrect to infer that people from Mount Kenya are against Raila because a few individuals applauded when he lost his candidacy for the African Union Commission chairperson seat.

“Some people are blaming the people of Mt Kenya for the loss just because a few women in Kirinyaga celebrated his loss,” he added.
“We have no problem with Raila. After consulting in 450 meetings in the last four months, people have asked me to look for friends.”
