Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is expected to unveil a new political party in May. This comes as signs of preparation have started to appear in public, raising political attention in the Mount Kenya region.
Senator John Methu’s vehicle was recently spotted with new colors that many believe are linked to Gachagua’s party. The vehicle carried a slogan and was painted in dark green and light green, with white details.
Methu is a known ally of Rigathi Gachagua and has remained vocal in defending him politically. The emergence of his vehicle has been seen as a signal that the party’s groundwork is almost complete.
Gachagua made the announcement during a memorial event for the late President Mwai Kibaki. He stated that the new party will serve as a united political voice for the people of Mount Kenya.
He said the movement will focus on protecting the region’s interests while promoting economic empowerment. Gachagua also indicated that the new party will replace other movements that have failed to serve local needs.
Although the name of the party has not yet been revealed, sources close to him have hinted at major plans already in place. Bloggers allied to Gachagua claim the party will shake the current political alignment.
According to them, the party will be formed to end what they refer to as the yellow wave in Mount Kenya. They believe the region should return to a locally driven political structure.
The photos of Methu’s campaign vehicles are already circulating widely on social media. Supporters of Gachagua are using the images to build momentum ahead of the planned launch.
As political players continue to watch closely, Gachagua’s move is expected to change the dynamics ahead of 2027. Many believe the new party could gain support fast within the region.
The launch of the new political party is now just weeks away. All attention is shifting to how it will be received once it is finally revealed.
