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.
