Gachagua declares himself opposition’s unifying factor, promises one candidate against Ruto
Gachagua says unity is the only formula for preventing the opposition from splitting its vote.
Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has called on former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to take a public oath at a church before the 2027 General Election, according to a statement released on August 8. Kuria challenged Gachagua to appear before the Moderator of the Presbyterian Church of East Africa and swear that he has not made any political deal with President William Ruto.
The proposed oath, as proposed by Kuria, would require Gachagua to confirm he has not made a deal with Ruto or any political agreement before the August 10, 2027 General Election. If the declaration made during the oath proved untrue, Kuria suggested invoking divine punishment by asking God to strike Gachagua with thunder and lightning.
Kuria's challenge comes amidst intensified political realignments in the lead-up to the 2027 General Election, with leaders reportedly exploring various alliances and potential political agreements.
