Gachagua Reaffirms Mount Kenya Supremacy with Massive Turnout in Laikipia

LAIKIPIA, KENYA — Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has once again solidified his status as the undisputed Mount Kenya political kingpin after pulling a massive crowd during a high-stakes stopover in Narumoru, Laikipia County.

Fresh off a decisive political triumph in the recent Ol Kalou mini-poll, Gachagua’s momentum appears unstoppable.

Rather than retreating to rest, the veteran politician has maintained a relentless pace—alternating between hosting high-level delegations at his Wamunyoro home and traversing the central region to rally public support while openly challenging President William Ruto’s leadership style.

His arrival in Narumoru turned the area into a sea of enthusiastic supporters, reaffirming his deep-rooted popularity across the region.

Addressing the energized crowd, Gachagua expressed gratitude for the hero’s welcome and framed the current political movement as a fight for the nation’s economic future.

“Narumoru leads from the front of the Kenyan dream of prosperity and a productive people,” Gachagua declared during his address. “We have agreed with you that nothing will stand between us and a great Republic our forefathers fought for. Thank you for your warm welcome to our team today afternoon.”

He went on to emphasize a vision centered on unity and economic equity, promising his supporters that “in the new Kenya we envision, no one will be left behind,” before concluding his remarks with “God Bless Kenya.”

Political analysts note that the overwhelming turnout in Laikipia sends a clear signal to the administration about the shifting political tides in Mount Kenya.

With his Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) gaining significant traction, Gachagua’s continuous engagement with grassroot voters ensures he remains the central authority in the region’s political landscape.
