The former DP made the definitive statement on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, clarifying that his current and future focus is entirely on the empowerment of the country's youth.
"My mission is very simple" Gachagua began, "to help Kenyan youth get rid of Kasongo and take their rightful place in governance."
He used the popular term 'Kasongo' to describe the persistent struggles and hardships that hinder the progress of young people in the country.
Rigathi Gachagua was emphatic that he does not see himself as a career politician who will cling to power indefinitely.
He explicitly tied his exit from the political stage to the successful completion of this one specific task.
"Once I do that" Gachagua declared, setting a clear condition for his retirement, "I can go back to Wamunyoro and relax."
This declaration serves as a powerful political statement, positioning Gachagua as a transitional leader whose main goal is to mentor and hand over the reins of leadership to the next generation.
Setting a clear and public endpoint for his political career, he is framing his current work not as a quest for personal power, but as a final, selfless act for the country's youth.
His promise to retreat to his rural home in Wamunyoro upon the completion of this singular goal provides a clear narrative for his political endgame.
It defines his legacy in his own terms: his work will be done and his political journey complete only when he sees the youth of Kenya take what he describes as their 'rightful place' in the governance of the nation.
