In a bold move that has sent shockwaves through the political landscape, Gachagua declared that Central Kenya will not be backing Ruto in the upcoming 2027 elections.<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-post-featured-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"554\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/images-1.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" style=\"object-fit:cover;\" srcset=\"https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/images-1.jpeg 554w, https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/images-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/images-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/tandaomedia.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/images-1-350x350.jpeg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 554px) 100vw, 554px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<p>Speaking from his Wamunyoro home, Gachagua delivered what can only be described as an interim report on the shifting political dynamics of the Mt. Kenya region. With unwavering determination, he announced the official withdrawal of Central Kenya from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, effectively ending any alliance with the ruling coalition.\u201cWe are done with UDA,\u201d Gachagua asserted. \u201cNo longer will we be mere passengers in someone else&#8217;s political vehicle. We will not be left stranded at the riverbank while others sail away.\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a stern warning to any Central Kenya leaders still aligned with President Ruto, Gachagua made it clear that there would be consequences for those who prioritize personal gain over the interests of the community.\u201cThis region will not stand for betrayal,\u201d he cautioned. \u201cThose who turn their backs on our people will find themselves without a seat at the table.\u201d he cautioned.Gachagua also issued a clear message to any leader who dares to cheer on while the President disrespects the community, stating that they would be marked and rejected at the ballot box.But Gachagua is not just about cutting ties \u2013 he is also about building new alliances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He revealed that he and his allies are in the final stages of forming a new political party, set to be unveiled in May. With a growing network that spans across various regions, Gachagua is gearing up for a new chapter in Central Kenya&#8217;s political landscape.So, buckle up and get ready for the winds of change blowing through Central Kenya. With Gachagua at the helm, the region is charting its own course and forging a new path towards a brighter future.
