Gachagua: My Sons Urged Me Not to Support Ruto for Presidency

Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua revealed that before the 2022 general elections, his two sons advised him to withdraw his support for President William Ruto.

Speaking in Bomet on Sunday, Gachagua explained that their concern arose due to the challenges he faced for backing Ruto’s presidential candidacy against the wishes of the sitting president.
