‘We Will Build An Inclusive Nation!’ – Gachagua Promises Kenyans
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has reiterated that the alliance he is forming wants to unite the country, rejecting detractors’ assertions that he is a divisive character.
He claimed that the opposition coalition is taking shape and will advocate for national unity and inclusivity without discrimination.
Gachagua made these remarks on Tuesday, the same day that major opposition members met for a strategic meeting to cement their political alliance.
In a post on his X page, Gachagua called the meeting as part of their “liberation journey ahead.”
“Marching into the Kenya we all desire, we met this morning under the leadership of Hon. Martha Karua, Party Leader of PLP, to caucus for the liberation journey ahead,” he wrote.
Gachagua, who was dismissed from government last year, is preparing to form his own party in May.
This morning The Peoples Liberation Party Leader the Hon Martha Karua assumed her role as our Convener as she brought us together to continue the work of liberating this country from the shackles of bad governance and corruption.

He has consistently stated that his party will have a national focus, bringing together people from various areas and backgrounds to promote harmony.
However, detractors claim that Gachagua’s strategy is to divide the country along tribal lines.
The National Cohesion and Integration Commission (NCIC) has warned him against making divisive statements and urged him to modify his rhetoric.
Despite the criticism, Gachagua stated that if his coalition controls the next administration, it will uphold the rule of law and strive for a more inclusive Kenya.
