Gachagua: I will block Ruto’s plans to split Mt Kenya
Ex-DP blames President Ruto’s government for the return of toxic brews in the Mountain.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has expanded the definition of the Mount Kenya political bloc to include Isiolo and Marsabit counties, christening it Mount Kenya North. This expansion, announced on August 22, 2026, during a public engagement in Embu County, marks a broader political framing of the Mount Kenya bloc as Gachagua seeks to consolidate communities ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Gachagua's new grouping includes the Kamba, Kikuyu, Mbeere, Embu, Meru, and Tharaka communities, positioning the region as a unified political constituency ahead of the upcoming election.
