A section of United Democratic Alliance (UDA) MCAs from Nairobi County has termed Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua as a tribal leader whom they are ashamed to be linked with.

The MCAs, led by Nairobi County Minority Leader Antony Kiragu, said Gachagua advocating for a one-man, one-vote, one-shilling policy is retrogressive and divisive.

Kiragu further called for an end to any further tribal and ethnic-based campaigns


”From Nairobi, we know very well that we are the people who carry the brand of their recklessness; we pay dearly for their mess.


“We have been quiet for some time when they have been going around doing UDA campaigns using ethnic undertones,” Kiragu said.

Kiragu explained that Kenyans moved past ethnically-driven politics in 2022 and should not regress to that state.

“We will call them out and reject whatever they are proposing for us,” he added.

Kiragu stated that Kenyans supported President William Ruto based on his manifesto rather than the selection of his running mate.
