Murang’a Woman Representative Betty Maina softened her criticism of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, acknowledging his contributions to consolidating the Mount Kenya region behind his political outfit. In a social media post on August 25, 2026, Maina credited Gachagua for building a party and establishing a brand. However, she accused Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro of hypocrisy, as Nyoro had initially opposed Gachagua's suitability for the deputy presidency and remained silent during his impeachment.
Maina challenged Nyoro to join Gachagua and support the DCP if he truly considered him a "brother," questioning why Nyoro would attempt to establish a separate political vehicle when they had previously worked together under the UDA. She urged Nyoro to collaborate with the DCP instead of creating a new platform.
