Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has stirred fresh debate in Kenya's political landscape after urging the Mt Kenya region to rally behind former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, describing him as a "gift from God" to the community.
Ngunyi's remarks come at a time when conversations about leadership and political direction in the Mt Kenya region continue to dominate national discourse. With the country gradually shifting focus toward the 2027 General Election, political figures and analysts are increasingly weighing in on who should lead the influential voting bloc.
According to Ngunyi, Gachagua's rise to national prominence was largely unexpected. He argued that many people did not foresee the former deputy president emerging as one of the most recognizable political figures from the region.
