Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, now a key opposition voice and leader of the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), has forcefully denied allegations that he is plotting to overthrow the current administration. His rebuttal comes days after President Ruto accused unnamed individuals of scheming to unseat him using unconstitutional means.
While on tour in the United States, Gachagua made it clear that his political movement seeks change only through democratic means. “Nobody wants to overthrow the government. We will change leadership on August 10, 2027—at the ballot,” he stated. His remarks were a direct response to accusations from Kenya Kwanza loyalists linking him to street protests and civil unrest.
Gachagua continues to rally behind the “Wantam” campaign—a growing movement calling for a single-term presidency for Ruto. According to him, the message is now national, not just a Mt. Kenya affair. “Ninety percent of the country is done. They want one term and nothing more,” he said. He insisted that the momentum is unstoppable and dismissed the idea of elite dialogue as political theatrics.
He took aim at ODM leader Raila Odinga for proposing a national conclave to bridge generational divides, accusing him of acting as Ruto’s political decoy. “That old man has been sent by Ruto to derail the Wantam wave,” Gachagua alleged.
Gachagua harshly criticized what he described as state-backed brutality against citizens. He cited controversial orders such as “shoot to kill” and “shoot them on the leg,” which have drawn widespread condemnation both locally and internationally.
He blamed Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen and Belgut MP Nelson Koech for encouraging excessive force against protestors. “The worst of all is the gross violation of human rights,” Gachagua lamented. He also accused the government of rewarding criminal elements used to disrupt peaceful demonstrations, claiming that court cases have been dropped to “thank” such individuals.
Gachagua ridiculed Raila Odinga’s persistent calls for dialogue with the government. He accused Raila of playing a recycled role of entering negotiations that ultimately go nowhere, only benefiting political elites.
“I heard him say Riggy G is not the solution. Well, I’ve never claimed to be the solution. The solution is one: one term. That’s the people’s answer,” Gachagua said.
During his address in Seattle, Gachagua acknowledged the critical role the diaspora plays in supporting Kenya’s economy. He encouraged continued remittance, noting that diaspora contributions remain the country’s top source of foreign exchange.
“You are our most serious economic partners,” he told Kenyans abroad, urging them not to slow down their support despite the political turmoil back home.
