It’s almost a foregone conclusion that Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua will lose his seat at the Senate impeachment trial at the end of this week. If he can claim command of the Mt Kenya vote basket, he brings to the table a bank of some seven million voters according to the 2022 registration. To that impressive tally can be added another large number of Mt Kenya votes scattered elsewhere in the Rift Valley, Coast and other regions. The ‘Nyahururu Declaration’ by Mt Kenya MPs which elevated Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki to regional political spokesman at Gachagua’s expense was part of that strategy. Ruto strategists are also hopeful that bringing Raila to their side adds an impressive base, which will more than compensate for a Mt Kenya exodus.
