Gachagua's comments sparked a heated exchange, highlighting the ongoing tensions within the political landscape of Kenya.
During a public statement, Gachagua addressed the President’s previous insults. "Mr. President, you brought all these insults," Gachagua began.
"You told us that Uhuru Kenyatta is a drunkard and Raila Odinga is a witch."
Gachagua, who has long supported President Ruto, emphasized that these words were spoken during a period of political rivalry when both Ruto and Gachagua were opponents of Uhuru and Raila.
The Deputy President’s response seemed to suggest that the insults had been part of the political strategy used to win over supporters in a highly charged electoral environment.
He argued that the harsh words from President Ruto had played a role in building the division between the political figures.
Now, with the President and his allies in power, Gachagua questioned whether such remarks should still be used to describe the former leaders.
"We have moved past the election," Gachagua continued, pointing out that the country is in a new phase of governance.
"We must work together for the good of the people, not keep looking back at old insults."
His message was clear: while political differences are inevitable, there should be room for more constructive dialogue and unity, especially as Kenya looks to the future.
The political landscape in Kenya remains complex, with shifting alliances and old rivalries still influencing current discussions.
Gachagua's remarks reflect the strain within the political leadership, especially as figures like Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga continue to have significant influence in the country’s politics.
With the 2027 elections approaching, the direction in which these tensions will evolve remains uncertain.
