Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has announced that he will vie for presidency in the 2027 national elections.
Speaking during a Church Service, Full Gospel Church Magomano, Juja on Sunday, May 11, the former DP said that if his party appoints him to represent them, he will take the challenge.
Further, he said that if he runs against President William Ruto, the head of state will not stand a chance against him.
“I want to assure you, the people of Juja, the next election will be fine. I am there, Kalonzo is there, Martha Karua is there, Eugene Wamalwa, Fred Matiang’i, we are all there.
“We will all sit down and select one person. If I am the one who will be chosen, I will give Ruto a run for his money,” said Gachagua.
