A political miscalculation by impeached Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has left him badly exposed. In contrast, the majority of Kenya Kwanza political leaders made strong agreements with President Ruto’s UDA party to protect themselves from arbitrary removal. While towering Kenya Kwanza principals signed legally binding agreements, Gachagua relied on President Ruto’s goodwill during the campaign trail. Other prominent Kenyan Kwanza figures, with the exception of Gachagua, signed formal agreements with President Ruto that included power-sharing arrangements. Wetang’ula, another Kenya Kwanza bigwig, has signed a pre-election agreement with the Kenya Kwanza Alliance through his Ford Kenya party.
