Rigathi Gachagua Reacts To Nominations Of Martha Karua As Raila Odinga‘s Running Mate In August

Monday May 16, 2022-Deputy President William Ruto’s running mate Rigathi Gachagua has reacted to the nominations of Narc Kenya party leader, Martha Karua as former Prime Minister Raila Odinga‘s running mate in the forthcoming presidential elections.

In a political rally in Kajiado on Monday Gachagua downplayed the nomination of Karua saying she will not manage to bring Mt Kenya votes to Raila Odinga.

Gachagua, who is current Mathira Member of Parliament, noted that the Mt Kenya region has already made up its mind to back Ruto saying that is a done deal.

The lawmaker said that the fact President Uhuru Kenyatta has failed to persuade the Mt Kenya region to back Raila means the region has already made up its mind on who to support.

"Our president who we love tried to take us to Raila and we refused. Raila has now taken a woman from Kirinyaga to take you to his camp. Will that be possible?"

"This woman who has now been sent by him when she comes here, will you tell her that you already made up your mind? Will you tell her, that if Uhuru who is the sitting president failed to take us there, will she?" Gachagua posed.
