A political analyst Ojwang, while speaking of the new political developments in the country has likened Mr Geofrey Gachagua and termed him as the new Raila Odinga of Mt Kenya. The analyst says that Gachagua’s suffering has now endeared him to the people of Mt Kenya who will be keen to “die” with him as one of their own. It is likely to be a replica of what happened in 2013 when the region stood firm with their son Uhuru Kenyatta who had a case at the ICC.
Raila has always come out as someone oppressed by different regimes, also as someone whose victory has always been stolen and subverted during the elections.
On Gachagua’s allies, the analyst says that they are set to reap big politically since they are painted as having stood with one of their own in the face of oppression. That if Gachagua manages to sustain the whipping of public emotions then 2027 might be a hard nut to crack in the mountain for William Ruto.
