Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has said he cannot rule out working with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga ahead of 2027 polls.

Speaking during an interview with KTN on Monday, Gachagua said he is keen on working with any leader who means well for the future of Kenya.

“I am open to working with anybody who means well for the country. I want to tell supporters of Raila from Nyanza not to fight the people from the Mt Kenya because we are not their enemies,” he said.

Gachangua explained that people from Mt Kenya only have a problem with the Kenya Kwanza administration.

“We are not opposed to working with Raila. Already, we are working with Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa and all like-minded people,” he maintained.

He said it was wrong to assume people from Mt Kenya are against Raila because a few people celebrated when he lost his bid for the African Union Commission chairperson seat.

“Some people are blaming the people of Mt Kenya for the loss just because a few women in Kirinyaga celebrated his loss,” he added.

“We have no problem with Raila. After consulting in 450 meetings in the last four months, people have asked me to look for friends.”

Gachagua added that he has no problem with Raila just because ODM legislators voted for his impeachment.

“It was not Raila who orchestrated the impeachment,” he explained.
