MP Gathoni Wamuchomba: Gachagua's Close Aide Who Misled Him Not to Resign Before His Impeachment

 

Fresh political drama has emerged around the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua following explosive claims by Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba that the embattled leader had an opportunity to resign before facing the Senate but failed to do so due to poor advice from his inner circle.

The revelations have reignited debate over how strategic miscalculations and personal influence accelerated Gachagua’s political downfall.

Speaking during a public forum, Wamuchomba claimed that Gachagua had seriously contemplated resigning ahead of the Senate impeachment process.

According to her, resignation would have allowed him to exit office with dignity, preserve political capital, and possibly stage a comeback at a later date.

However, she alleged that close aides including his spouse strongly discouraged him, insisting that he fight the impeachment despite the mounting political and legal headwinds.
