Rigathi Gachagua claims the GEMA communities will be integral to forming Kenya’s next government, with or without Raila Odinga’s support. He predicts their strength will secure victories in the 2027 elections and emphasizes the need for unity among these communities. Gachagua also critiques President Ruto, indicating that without political change, Ruto may face significant challenges in re-election.
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.
Gachagua’s remarks emphasize the pivotal role of the GEMA communities in Kenyan politics, predicting a strong electoral performance in 2027. He critiques President Ruto’s reliance on Odinga while reinforcing his own coalition-building efforts with key opposition figures. As the political landscape evolves, Gachagua’s strategies suggest a potential shift in alliances that could redefine power dynamics in Kenya.
