Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has accused his successor, Kithure Kindiki, of attempting to divide the Mt Kenya region by hosting a meeting with thousands of elders in Embu. Gachagua made the allegations during a rally in Molo, Nakuru, on August 15, 2026, where he mocked Kindiki, referring to him as "Soprano" and suggesting that his meeting was part of a broader plan by President William Ruto to weaken Mt Kenya's political unity.
Kindiki, in response, defended himself against the allegations and revealed that he had held private meetings with Gachagua before his impeachment, in which he advised his predecessor to remain loyal to President Ruto.
