Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has intensified his political reawakening with a strategic meeting held at his Wamunyoro residence, where he hosted grassroots leaders from Meru County. The residence, which has become the epicenter of his political activities since his impeachment, served once again as the venue for shaping the roadmap to his next chapter in national politics.
Gachagua, in a statement shared after the meeting, expressed his delight in hosting the Meru delegation, describing the visit as both symbolic and significant. “This morning, I had the immense pleasure of hosting grassroots leaders from the land of my Mother Meru County, at my Wamunyoro residence. They brought with them warm greetings from my relatives and the vibrant community back home,” he said.
The meeting served as a platform for Gachagua to share updates on the progress of his anticipated political comeback, particularly plans to launch a new political party. He emphasized the importance of such engagements, noting that they offer invaluable insights from the ground. “Their visit was a crucial opportunity for us to share insights and updates regarding the launch of our new political party,” he stated.
Gachagua highlighted that the grassroots leaders brought with them concerns, hopes, and expectations from Meru residents. These, he noted, are vital in shaping a political movement that resonates with the people’s aspirations. “The people are eager for change and ready to embrace a new vision for our county and beyond,” he said.
Since his ouster from office, Gachagua has turned Wamunyoro into a hub for political engagement, frequently meeting with allies, professionals, and local leaders. His efforts appear focused on consolidating grassroots support and forming a broad-based party that appeals to Kenyans across the divide.
“Together, we will build a party that echoes the voices of all Kenyans, ensuring that everyone feels included and represented,” he affirmed, thanking Meru County for its continued support.
With such meetings becoming more frequent, Gachagua’s next political moves are clearly taking shape — and Wamunyoro is quickly emerging as a new centre of political influence.
