Stop mourning and move on: Mudavadi tells Gachagua

Speaking at a roadside rally in Kakamega County on Monday, Mudavadi urged Gachagua to tone down his fury against the state and instead focus on furthering his professional interests.

He further noted that Kenyans should embrace Kenya Kwanza's development agenda and desist from endorsing divisive politics from individuals who stand no chance of holding elective positions.

"If somebody was mourning then he has finished the mourning. The mourning period is over. Kenya must move on, it is not there to listen to you every other day. We must develop the country and that is where President Ruto is taking us," Mudavadi noted.

"The law says that if you have been impeached you cannot have public office even a nyumba kumi (village elder)."

Mudavadi, also the Foreign Affairs CS, urged Kenyans to scrutinize the law and use it as their sanity compass before pledging allegiance to politicians.

"Analyse the law because we do not want to be deceived by someone who cannot hold public office. Let us not waste our time, let us move forward," he noted.

"The former Nairobi governor (Mike Sonko) was impeached and he could not hold that office again. The one in Kiambu (Ferdinand Waititu) also got stuck after impeachment."

Since his ouster in October 2024, Gachagua has launched a bare-knuckle attack on his former boss President Ruto and his government.

Gachagua has also rallied most of his supporters from the Mt.Kenya region to remain in the offensive corner and not afford him electoral votes in the 2027 General Election.
