  • Former president Uhuru Kenyatta and Rigathi Gachagua seems to be reading from a different script, which some argue could leave the Mt Kenya electorate confused.

The article from MSN discusses the political dynamics in the Mt. Kenya region of Kenya, highlighting that the area's residents are unlikely to support Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua or former President Uhuru Kenyatta if their political actions do not align with the region's interests. It points out that the people of Mt. Kenya are known for their political pragmatism, focusing on economic benefits and development rather than loyalty to individual leaders. The article references historical examples where the region has shifted political allegiance based on perceived benefits, such as during the presidencies of Mwai Kibaki and Uhuru Kenyatta. It also notes that current political figures like Gachagua and Kenyatta need to demonstrate tangible benefits to retain support, suggesting that the region's political support is contingent on leaders delivering on promises related to economic growth and regional development.
