The photos, which were shared on social media, captured the four leaders at the United Nations General Assembly in New York, sparking mixed reactions across the political landscape.
The sight of President Ruto and Raila Odinga, political rivals, sharing the same space alongside Joho and Ledama raised speculation about the nature of their interactions.
While it may seem like a diplomatic engagement at a global forum, Kenyan politics thrives on symbolism, and such a gathering was bound to stir conversation.
MP Elijah Njoroge seized the moment to mock DP Gachagua, suggesting that while significant political figures from different backgrounds are networking and possibly conspiring in New York, Gachagua remains sidelined.
The MP humorously referenced Gachagua’s earlier complaint about being removed from a WhatsApp group that kept him informed of Ruto’s activities.
Gachagua recently disclosed that he had been excluded from a WhatsApp group meant for updating government officials on President Ruto’s travel and activities.
This revelation came as a shock to many, hinting at potential rifts within the government’s top leadership. Elijah Njoroge capitalized on this, implying that Gachagua is now isolated while key decisions and alliances are being formed abroad.
Njoroge’s message was clear: the Deputy President is out of the loop, and his absence from these high-profile meetings could signal deeper issues within the current administration.
“Who is defending the people of Mt. Kenya now?” Njoroge asked, raising concerns about the region’s representation in critical national matters. His sarcastic remark about wanting to join the "WhatsApp group"
The Mt. Kenya region, which has long been a political stronghold, is at the center of these discussions. Gachagua has been seen as the main defender of the region's interests in the current government.
However, the recent developments suggest that his influence might be waning, as key political figures are seen mingling and discussing matters without his input.
For many in Mt. Kenya, this exclusion is a cause for concern. Njoroge’s comments highlight the fear that their region may lose its influence, especially if Gachagua is indeed being sidelined.
Njoroge’s mockery, though light-hearted, touches on the serious issue of Mt. Kenya’s political future and representation.<

The interaction between President Ruto, Raila, Joho, and Ledama has reignited conversations about potential political realignments.
While some see this as a sign of diplomacy and collaboration beyond political boundaries, others view it with suspicion, wondering what might be brewing behind the scenes.
For Gachagua, who has portrayed himself as a steadfast advocate for Mt. Kenya, this could be a moment of reckoning, especially if his exclusion becomes a trend.
