The public show of camaraderie between former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua in Kirinyaga County on Tuesday was as symbolic as it was strategic, laced with thinly veiled political messaging that pointed to a possible reunion ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The two leaders shared a podium for the first time in a long time during the burial of former Kirinyaga Senator Daniel Karaba, in what many observers described as a symbolic thawing of political relations that had remained frosty since the bitter fallout surrounding the 2022 presidential campaigns.
