When Kibwezi West MP Mwengi Mutuse tabled a motion for the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on October 1, most MPs from the Mt Kenya region were among the 291 signatories. The circulation of the list whipped up emotion in the Mt Kenya region with voters taking advantage of available platforms to profile the motion’s supporters as the candidates for ouster in the 2027 General Election. Unlike Mr Kinyanjui, some MPs from Mt Kenya made a last minute change of heart and voted against the motion. Mr Wandeto on Wednesday told Nation.Africa that the views of his constituents informed his change of heart. Mr Wandeto expressed hope that his signature would not contribute to seeing the DP confirmed as indeed deposed.
