Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has revealed that consultations with Kikuyu elders are shaping his political strategy, including plans he says will guide the formation of Kenya’s “sixth administration.”

In a statement posted on his X account on Thursday, July 2, 2026, the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader shared photos of a meeting with leaders of Kiama Kia Kiama at his Wamunyoro home, describing the elders as a vital source of wisdom and guidance.

“Elders are repositories of wisdom and foresight. They see far ahead and deliberate carefully before making decisions,” Gachagua said.

He praised the traditional leadership, saying he was privileged to receive counsel from Kiama Kia Kiama, which he described as the body entrusted with guiding the Kikuyu community on political, economic and social matters.

“I consider myself privileged to have received such wise counsel from the leadership of Kiama Kia Kiama, the elders entrusted with guiding the Kikuyu community in matters of politics, economics, and social issues,” he stated.

According to Gachagua, the elders have offered direction on the next phase of his political journey, which he said is aimed at liberating the country and preparing for a new administration.

“Through their counsel, I have been directed on the way forward in our journey to liberate our country, including the formation of the 6th administration,” he said.

The former deputy president added that the elders had stressed the need to protect the interests of the community while working together with other Kenyans to advance national unity and development.

“They have emphasized the importance of safeguarding community interests and working collaboratively with fellow Kenyans for the greater good of our beloved Kenya,” Gachagua said.

He concluded by indicating that the engagement process is still ongoing, writing, “Consultations continue,” before wishing the country well with the message, “God bless Kenya!”
