Former Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has stirred fresh speculation after hinting that President William Ruto and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua could hold a private meeting in the United States in September.
Kuria made the suggestion through a cryptic social media message, claiming that the truth behind recent political developments would eventually come to light.
His reference to September and the United States immediately triggered debate over whether the two former allies could be considering a political conversation.
The timing of Kuria’s remarks has attracted particular attention. Gachagua travelled to the United States on August 26, saying he intended to use the trip as an opportunity to reflect on his political future away from Kenya’s heated political environment.
President Ruto is also expected to travel to New York for the United Nations General Assembly, creating speculation that the two leaders could find themselves in the same country at a politically significant time.
The 81st United Nations General Assembly is scheduled to open in September, with world leaders expected to gather in New York for the high-level meetings later in the month.
However, there has been no official confirmation from either Ruto or Gachagua that a meeting has been planned. As a result, the possibility remains largely based on Kuria’s remarks and growing political speculation.
Ruto and Gachagua were close political partners during the 2022 presidential campaign before their relationship later collapsed, culminating in Gachagua’s removal from office in 2024.
Since then, Gachagua has become one of the government’s most outspoken critics.
The speculation gained further momentum after DCP deputy leader Cleophas Malala suggested that political rivals who publicly appear hostile can still maintain private communication.
With the 2027 General Election approaching, Kuria’s remarks have once again raised questions about whether Kenya’s shifting political alliances could produce another unexpected reunion between Ruto and Gachagua.
