DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua.[File, Standard]
After his impeachment, I told many pundits that Rigathi Gachagua was going to be a problem for President William Ruto. Let me tell you what really happened in Ol Kalou on Thursday, July 16, 2026.
It wasn't a by-election. It was a public execution. And the State-with all its Cabinet Secretaries, helicopters, State House dinners and bagfuls of cash-walked right into the slaughterhouse with its eyes wide open.
Mr Gachagua didn't just defeat UDA. He humiliated it. He showed the President of the Republic that the Mountain was not a vending machine, to put in promises and extract votes from it. He reminded Dr Ruto that loyalty cannot be bought with LPG cylinders and a plate of pilau at State House.
