Rigathi is a Dictator! Gloves Off as Kabogo Takes on Ruto's Running Mate Head-on [Video]

Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo has seemingly fallen out with UDA presidential running mate Rigathi Gachagua.

Kabogo, who was involved in a public spat with Kiambu Senator Kimani Wamatangi on Wednesday, has now embarked on disparaging the UDA presidential running mate labelling him as unfit.

In a video seen by Nairobi Leo, Kabogo was speaking at a rally in Kiambu on Thursday when he called Gachagua a "dictator" divulging that he even warned DP William Ruto from picking him as his running mate.

He claimed that they were being forced to support Wamatangi for the governor seat, something they are not ready to do.

"Ati wanatuambia  lazima tutachagua Wamatangi, hiyo ndio maneno mnataka nyinyi? Kesho huyo Rigathi Gachagua atakuja hapa. Kabla ya kuchaguliwa Rigathi Gachagua na William Ruto, mimi nilikua nimepinga," he said.

"Amechaguliwa ndo maneno ya UDA na sisi imeanza kusoroteka. Kwa sababu huyo jamaa ni dikteta. Makosa yangu nikusema kweli kwa sababu niliambia Ruto atapoteza kura mingi kwa huyu jamaa. "

Kabogo hinted that he was about to start a new political chapter of his life hence his move to visit Thika where he was addressing his supporters.

"Mimi nimerudi hapa kwa sababa nataka kuanza safari mpya. Sipendi kwenda bila kufika nyumbani. Nimeona William Ruto na chama yake ya JUDA wanataka kumeza vyama vyote. Na mimi nimekataa Kumezwa."

He went further to chide Gachagua saying he is not fit for the office of the Deputy President said the office needs a better person who might take over the role of the president in case something happens.

Kabogo said he is the leader of the Mt Kenya region even as he dismissed Gachagua's elevation to the position fo Ruto's running mate.

"Wewe piga hesabu, ati William Ruto ameshindwa na Kazi ati Rigahti Gachagua atakua president. Mimi ndo defacto leader ya wakaaji wa mlima Kenya."
