Rigathi Gachagua Tells Kenyans to throw their weight behind President William Ruto come 2027
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has encouraged Samburu residents to abandon their backing for the opposition and instead endorse President William Ruto in the upcoming 2027 elections, when Kenyans will cast their votes for new leaders
Addressing a church service and fundraising event at St. Francis the Xavier in Baragoi town on Sunday, December 3, Gachagua cautioned the congregation against wasting their votes in support of the opposition leader, Raila Odinga, emphasizing the importance of supporting President William Ruto.
“When the time comes to plan, do your calculations well. Don’t throw your vote into the forest. Place your vote where leadership will be found. We have done the political math, and William Ruto will be there,” he said.
As per Lightcast TV, he advised residents to make appropriate plans, asserting that Raila Odinga wouldn’t be in the statehouse to implement any development agenda.
“Currently, you are seeking assistance. I guarantee that you will receive help since you are Kenyans. However, you need to avoid voting for someone who is already in the forest. Choose someone who can provide roads and water, not someone who has the same problems as you do. In the future, do not vote for somebody who also comes to the government to cry for help,” added Gachagua.
Nevertheless, he affirmed that the Kenya Kwanza government would persist in serving the people and collaborate with Samburu residents to ensure peaceful coexistence.
He said: “The government agencies will continue working with all leaders in Samburu and other parts of the country to promote peaceful coexistence between and among communities. This will allow for lasting development in the region.”
In October, the deputy president underscored that the residents of the Mt. Kenya region would receive a greater share of government resources, attributing it to their substantial support for the ruling party during the elections
“We will ensure we increase our shareholding in this government from 47% to almost 60%. Many people are uncomfortable with our shareholding, but we only have a few—only 47%. We will increase so that we have enough,” he said
