Top political analyst Professor Peter Kagwanja has finally revealed a probable reason behind Ruto-Gachagua Fallout that has created tension within the rulling party.
Speaking during an interview in a local channel, Kagwanja said that the Deputy President feels that he was used as a weapon to finish Uhuru Kenyatta in Mt Kenya and now his purpose in UDA party is over.

Its due to this reason that the DP feels that he has been sidelined within the rulling party hence the Ruto-Gachagua fallout that has left many wondering if history from the last regime will repeat itself.
Another analyst, Professor Macharia Munene claims that Gachagua’s expectations have not been met since formation of government and therefore he is desperately forcing things to go his way, something that has created tension.
“He feels it, he is desperate. From the day he was sworn in as deputy president, he appeared to be on a mission to be declared the leader of the mountain and he did everything possible to be declared.”
According to Munene, the failure of Ruto to protect Rigathi Gachagua from the likes of Ndindi Nyoro who are setting up the pace to lead Mt Kenya in 2027 by declaring him (Gachagua) the Mt Kenya kingpin has fell in deaf ears thus the push and pull.
The desperation of Gachagua has made him realise that there are cracks within the leadership of Mt Kenya and with most of his enemies emanating from within his party that the party leader has failed to control despite his contribution in 2022 Elections.

Evidently, Gachagua has now turned to the critical issues that he was against during the campaigns like the one man one shilling campaign, an initiative that he wants to use after frustrations within government.
