NAIROBI, Kenya Feb 2 – Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has announced that he will release an interim report outlining the political direction of the Mt. Kenya region on February 9, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking during a Sunday church service in Mathioya, Murang\u2019a County, Gachagua said he will present the report during a roundtable event with journalists from various media houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He revealed that he has been holding consultations with leaders at his Mathira residence to gather views on the region\u2019s political future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI had promised that by January 31, 2025, I would have collected the views and opinions of our people regarding the political direction we should take as a region. However, on February 9, next Sunday, I will unveil the report,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gachagua noted that the consultations have extended beyond Mt. Kenya to include delegations from the Maa, Kisii, Nyanza, and Western Kenya regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI apologize for the delay in releasing the report. The views I have received have been numerous, and I initially expected only leaders from Mt. Kenya, but I\u2019ve also had leaders from other parts of the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since his impeachment in October 2024, Gachagua has accused the government of sidelining Mt. Kenya leaders and attempting to weaken the region\u2019s political influence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In response, he has engaged with church leaders, business figures, and professionals to discuss a new political course for the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speculation is mounting that he may announce the formation of a new political party or a broader alliance with leaders from other regions to strengthen his position ahead of the 2027 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His upcoming announcement is expected to shape the political landscape of Mt. Kenya and beyond.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
