Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has spoken about growing tension among top leaders. He linked the dispute to recent moves by former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Speaking in Nairobi, the former deputy president said attacks on Uhuru are not random. He claimed President William Ruto is reacting to political pressure public.
Rigathi Gachagua stated that many voters in the Mt Kenya region have changed their views. He said the president is worried about losing support there.
According to the former deputy president, the attacks aim to split the community. He alleged that the plan involves turning Uhuru into a political target.
He warned that such actions could raise tension within the region. The popular politician urged the president to focus on national duties and unity first.
Gachagua also spoke about former President Uhuru Kenyatta and his recent stand. He said the former leader is acting in the interest of citizens widely.
The remarks come as Uhuru meets opposition figures and addresses issues under the current government. Observers note that the dispute may affect voting patterns soon.
President William Ruto has not responded directly to the claims made by his former deputy. His past speeches have criticised Uhuru over opposition links openly.
The exchange shows how relations among senior leaders continue to change. It may shape new alliances as the election season draws nearer for Kenya voters.
