Some of key Gachagua's supporters from Mt Kenya

President William Ruto’s political prowess is set to be tested amid a growing rebellion by the ‘angry’ Mt Kenya following the impeachment of Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua by the National Assembly.

Ruto roused the region’s ire and offended ethnic sensibilities after engineering the removal of his divisive deputy who aspired to be the region’s supremo.

DP Gachagua enjoys significant support from various Mt Kenya leaders.

Key figures backing him include Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga and Kirinyaga MP Njeri Maina.

Other prominent supporters are Embakasi Central MP Benjamin Gathiru, Embakasi North MP James Gakuya, and Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba among others.
