A delegation from Northern Kenya, referred to by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua as part of "Mount Kenya North," visited his Wamunyoro residence as he concludes engagements with various groups during his 56-day conclave. Photos from People Daily Digital show the delegation arriving at Gachagua's political command base before high-level talks.
This visit follows Gachagua's call for the inclusion of Isiolo, Wajir, and Marsabit counties in the Mount Kenya political matrix, describing them as "Mount Kenya North." During a public engagement on August 22, 2026, in Embu County, Gachagua accused President William Ruto of attempting to divide the Mount Kenya region ahead of the 2027 general election.
He outlined four sections of the enlarged political alliance: Mt Kenya South for the Kamba community, Mt Kenya West for the Kikuyu community, Mt Kenya East for the Mbeere, Embu, Meru, and Tharaka communities, and Mt Kenya North for communities from Isiolo and Marsabit. Gachagua sees this broader political grouping as a means to strengthen the region's numbers and political influence.
