Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asserted that the Gikuyu, Embu, Meru, and Akamba (GEMA) communities will significantly influence the formation of Kenya’s next government, irrespective of whether they gain support from opposition leader Raila Odinga. Speaking during a church service in Machakos, Gachagua underscored GEMA’s role in shaping the nation’s political prospects, expressing firm confidence in their unity to dominate upcoming elections.
