  "account": "Ndindi Nyoro, a Member of Parliament representing Kiharu, has issued a stern warning to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. At a meeting of the People's Party on Monday, September 7, 2026, Nyoro urged Gachagua to confront him directly instead of sending his supporters to attack him.\n\nRecalling their joint opposition to Ruto in 2022 and Nyoro's support for Gachagua in his bid to become Deputy President, Nyoro expressed surprise at Gachagua's ongoing attacks.
