Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Sunday implored leaders from the Mt Kenya region to stop what he termed as high-octane politics.
Addressing the faithful during a church service in Baricho, Kirinyaga County, Gachagua urged leaders to focus on the development agenda.
"The elections ended and the next election cycle is 2027. Those who were elected should do their job; when the time comes, aspirants will go to the people to seek support. Kenyans are intelligent people; they are aware of the political developments. They will make decisions at the ballot," he said.
DP Gachagua added; "Let us reduce high-octane politics in the Mt Kenya Region. The other regions are calm and not focusing on politics."
While urging the leaders to also shun divisive politics, Mr Gachagua said working together for the greater good of the country is a priority. He further asked Kenyans to give leaders space to work.
"The voters will decide in the next election cycle. Let us also be kind and do good deeds all the time and work on the development," the DP said.
Gachagua also advised the leaders that despite political differences "look back and do good to those who did good deeds to you".
His comments came amid unfolding political intrigues within the vote-rich Mt Kenya region, with some of the region’s leaders publicly severing ties with the DP and endorsing Interior Cabinet Secretary Kithure Kindiki as their to President William Ruto.
This has caused tension and set the stage for a potential political clash between CS Kindiki and DP Gachagua on the control of Central region politics.
