Kang’ata’s sudden relationship with Raila is creating unrest in the political scene amid DP rumors

Kang’ata, who rarely engages in national politics and is almost always immersed in the affairs of his province, met with the former ODM chairman at an undisclosed location on Wednesday, October 16, revealing that the meeting was intended was to take stock of the success of decentralization in the country.

Kang’ata shared a photo of himself beaming next to Raila Odinga in a symbolic handshake on his We had a good conversation about national cohesion. and the progress we have made as a country under decentralization.”

Although his messages were vague and calculatedly structured to obliterate any hints, Kenyans still smelled a political alliance in the making, with many limiting it outright to the possibilities of Kang’ata accepting the role of vice president.

Some Kenyans who responded to his tweet were quick to warn him against accepting the DP role, noting that the ground was still hostile and that he was dancing around his political deathbed.

“I hope you didn’t accept the offer to fill Gachagua’s seat. You’re playing with fire. These people will chew you up and spit you out. Rudi tu Murang’a boss,” one opined.

Someone else said, “Please don’t drink from the poisoned chalice. No one who runs for that seat will find peace. Baba Fua will make you his next political victim!’

On her part, Damaris Njeri said: “Mount Kenya is still very hot. Ground ni moto. Stop slaughtering yourself Ngabana. Murang’a needs you more than ever. Coka mucíí.”

Kang’ata’s surprising relationship with Raila Odinga comes just a day after he joined more than 40 lawmakers, led by Majority Whip Sylvanus Osoro, who met at a city hotel to discuss the possibilities of his move to the vice president’s office to discuss.

During the meeting, Kang’ata was praised for his transformative work in Murang’a County and his rapid climb up the ladders of leadership – from councilor to MP, to senator and now governor.

Leaders from the greater Mount Kenya region are doing their utmost to ensure that the seat remains in the region, fueling tensions and divisions among them.

Other names put forward as possible Gachagua successors include Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru and Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki.
