Kalonzo: My meeting with Gachagua was just coffee, nothing more

 Gachagua said their discussions "looked at various emerging issues across the nation and in the region."

However, Kalonzo insisted there was no political agenda behind the meeting.

He revealed that during their conversation, he had a cappuccino, Wamalwa had the same, while Gachagua opted for hot chocolate.

 "I had a lot of very interesting things as we had that coffee. And I think they should remain within that space," he added.

 The former vice president noted that he has had few interactions with Gachagua.

 "I don’t know much about Riggy G, but the first time I saw him, he was talking like [President] William Ruto.

They influence each other’s style of conversation," he noted.

Kalonzo observed that Gachagua still refers to Ruto as "Mr. President," whereas he prefers calling him by name.

He also recounted a humorous moment Gachagua shared about his concerns over a potential unexpected visit from Ruto to his home in Mathira.

"Riggy G and his wife were discussing how they would react if Ruto decided to take a helicopter and land in Wamunyoro. I won’t disclose what he shared, but it tells you we are in one country, one people."

 Kalonzo’s remarks come amid growing political realignments ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Kalonzo hinted at his presidential ambitions, stating, "It is obvious to all and sundry that we will be in the ballot in 2027 or even earlier."

The Wiper leader also commented on the challenges Gachagua faced when he and his wife, Pastor Dorcas, were blocked from holding a church service.

 "When some militias were unleashed against them, they decided to retreat to their place," he said.
