“I’ll Call Uhuru!” Nyoro Reveals Gachagua’s Dramatic 2022 Running-Mate Threat

Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has revealed a dramatic account of how Rigathi Gachagua secured William Ruto’s running-mate slot in 2022—even after Kithure Kindiki reportedly defeated him 28 votes to 5 in a meeting of Mount Kenya leaders. According to Nyoro, Gachagua confronted Ruto and threatened to call former President Uhuru Kenyatta and join the Azimio camp if he was sidelined. Nyoro also claims that Ruto’s team approached several potential running mates, including former Transport CS James Macharia and Equity Group CEO James Mwangi, but they declined the offer. Was Gachagua the only candidate who could hold Ruto’s coalition together? Did Ruto fear losing Gachagua and his allies before the 2022 election? This episode examines Nyoro’s claims, the Kindiki-Gachagua contest, the role of Uhuru and Azimio, and the political calculations behind the Kenya Kwanza ticket.
