Rigathi Gachagua's close ally John Methu has harshly criticized President William Ruto, claiming that the opposition's primary goal is to overthrow him.
In an interview on February 25, 2026, Methu claimed to have witnessed Ruto lament that his detractors are solely interested in removing him from power and that, for the first time, the President is correct in that assertion.
He maintained that as long as Ruto is in power, nothing significant can happen in Kenya.
The increasing political tension between Ruto's camp and leaders who support the former Deputy President is reflected in Methu's comments.
The senator has continuously spoken up for Gachagua and charged that the current government marginalizes leaders who oppose its policies.
As the nation moves closer to increased realignments and early succession politics ahead of the upcoming general election cycle, his remarks are expected to heighten political discourse.
