On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, former Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu met with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua at his residence in Wamunyoro. During the meeting, they discussed the political future of Kenya and the lessons learned from the 2002 National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) campaign. Gachagua, in a subsequent statement, referred to Ngilu as one of the architects of the NARC dream.
He highlighted her contribution along with the late President Mwai Kibaki and Vice President Michael Kijana Wamalwa in crafting the political strategy that resulted in NARC's victory in the 2002 General Election. Gachagua expressed that he gained valuable insights from Ngilu's wisdom regarding the political strategies employed during that era and their potential application in the fight against corruption and impunity.
He further noted that the discussions provided him with essential lessons on steering Kenya towards prosperity. Gachagua also drew parallels between the current political landscape and the 2002 elections, where opposition parties united behind Kibaki to defeat the ruling KANU party. He alluded to a potential opposition unity strategy for the 2027 General Election, emphasizing the selection of a single presidential candidate as a crucial step towards achieving this goal.
