Monday, October 21, 2024 –United Democratic Alliance UDA Party has announced that embattled Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua will be expelled from the party this week.
Making the commitment today Monday October 21, UDA Party Secretary General Hassan Omar announced that Gachagua’s conduct unbecoming has no space in the ruling party and that the top party organ has, all together, agreed to haunt him out.
The secretary general noted further that he is not pushing the DP out of the party but the decision was reached at after their top leadership made the conclusion that his stay is untenable because he can’t work with Party leader, Dr. William Ruto.
Gachagua was impeached by both the Parliament and the Senate on eleven charges which he is currently contesting in court.
He filed several cases in court seeking orders to cushion him from removal.
In his argument, he says through the court papers that the exercise is political and that has nothing to do with insubordination and incompetence as some would want it to look like.
At Karen after he had been discharged from hospital on Sunday October 21, the embattled DP accused President William Ruto of turning guns at the people who helped him secure a win in the last general election.
He went on to describe the president as a ‘vicious man’ who has lost empathy after taking office.
Gachagua also said the final plan is to remove him from office through the back door and to install a ‘puppet’ in the name of Prof. Kithure Kindiki.
He, however, warned that Kindiki will also be impeached after a very short stint because he is not only a weak leader but also unelected what goes against the Constitution.
