Claims circulating online have alleged that former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua made strong remarks about Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and his political ambitions ahead of the 2027 General Election.
According to the allegation, Gachagua is said to have warned that Sifuna could “perish” politically before the elections, while suggesting that the senator believes he can succeed without Gachagua’s support.
The authenticity and full context of the alleged remarks should be independently verified.
The allegations come amid growing political discussions involving Gachagua and Sifuna as opposition figures consider possible cooperation ahead of the 2027 polls.
In September 2026, Gachagua publicly said he was willing to deputise Sifuna if opposition leaders determined that Sifuna was the best candidate, while also saying the reverse arrangement could be possible.
The reported remarks, if confirmed, could add another layer to the ongoing debate over opposition unity and possible presidential ticket arrangements ahead of 2027.
However, the specific statement that Sifuna would “perish” before the elections has not been independently established.
Readers are therefore encouraged to watch the purported video and consider its full context before drawing conclusions about what Gachagua actually said.
