Sunday, September 06, 2026 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has signaled his willingness to serve as running mate to Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna in the 2027 General Election.
Speaking on Sunday, September 6, in Washington, USA, the
Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader said the united opposition is open to
different leadership combinations ahead of next year’s polls.
“There is no problem; even I, Riggy G, can
deputize Sifuna. Is there anything wrong with that? Even Sifuna can deputize
me.
“Sifuna can deputize Kalonzo or Kalonzo can
deputize Sifuna,” Gachagua remarked.
He further hinted at a possible formula blending youthful
energy with political experience, noting that such a combination could
strengthen the opposition’s chances.
“I have looked at the arithmetic, and we will
come up with a formula that you will like.
“I see a solution where we can blend youthful
energy with experience for our country,” he stated.
At the same time, Gachagua encouraged Sifuna to pursue the
presidency without fear of political opponents, promising support if he
convinces the coalition of his suitability.
“I have told my younger brother Edwin Sifuna not
to be discouraged by anybody; go for it.
“If you persuade us that you are the best person
to take William Ruto home, we will give you the flag bearer position,” he
added.
His remarks come as Sifuna and the Linda Mwananchi movement
continue to popularize their agenda nationwide.
