Political analysts and some politicians have expressed the need for Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to take strategic action to protect his political prominence.
Despite his claims that everything is fine, there are indications from his close supporters that he is facing challenges.
The alleged problems of the Deputy President have sparked political discussions in the Mount Kenya region.
Former parliamentarian Nduati Ngugi suggests that the Deputy President has four options to consider.
These options include playing hardball and demanding the removal of his opponents from power, leaving and forming an opposition movement, or launching opposition while still in office.
Another option is for the Deputy President to stay in his position and fight until the general elections of 2027 or 2032.
These decisions will have significant consequences, particularly within the Kenya Kwanza administration and its relationship with Mount Kenya.
Mr. Ngugi advises Deputy President Gachagua to take steps to unite Mount Kenya, including seeking the guidance of former president Uhuru Kenyatta.
Joseph Kaguthi, a provincial administrator, emphasizes the importance of carefully evaluating the Deputy President’s options and ensuring loyalty within the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.
Others caution Deputy President Gachagua to be cautious as it is unclear who may be working against him and undermining his position.
