Gachagua, Karua agree to work together ahead of 2027

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Martha Karua have agreed to work together ahead of the 2027 general elections.

The two made the announcement when  Gachagua visited Karua at her rural Kimunye home in Kirinyaga County on Saturday.
The visit came days after Karua rebranded Narc Kenya into the People’s Liberation Party (PLP) Party.

Gachagua, who was recently kicked out as the UDA deputy party leader is expected to unveil his political party next month.

Speaking at Karua’s home, Gachagua said Martha’s dedication to public service and tireless fight for justice had earned his respect.

“This is despite the fact that we often find ourselves on opposite ends of the political spectrum,” Gachagua said.

Gachagua said that he had come to the realisation, that as much as political rivalry might frequently overshadow the possibility of collaboration, there are always opportunities to work together.

“The lessons we continue to learn along the way often provide opportunities for political rivals to work together and leverage diverse perspectives and experiences, to effect meaningful change,” Gachagua said.

“It is within this background that I genuinely look forward to working together with my sister SC Hon Martha Karua to forge a formidable team that will work together and with others, for the betterment of our country.’

On her part, Karua said they will be putting the people first in all the steps they will make.

“I salute your courage and resilience in the face of adversity, qualities that we need as we fulfil our joint commitment to rally together leaders from across the nation, to address the many challenges facing the people of Kenya,” Karua said.

“I look forward to working with you and wish you well in all your endeavours It was my honour and pleasure to host you, dear brother.”
