During a charged rally in Naivasha, Gachagua was joined by Nyandarua Senator John Methu, whose fiery remarks and crowd engagement stole the spotlight.
The gathering, largely made up of opposition supporters, erupted into chants critical of the government, reflecting growing public frustration over economic hardships and unmet campaign promises.
Addressing the crowd, Senator Methu revealed that opposition leaders are engaged in consultations aimed at agreeing on a single presidential candidate to challenge President Ruto in 2027.

The crowd responded with loud cheers, signaling readiness to back any candidate endorsed by the opposition coalition.
According to Methu, the overwhelming response demonstrated a strong appetite for unity among opposition supporters.
The rally took a humorous turn when Methu posed a playful but pointed question to the crowd. “Wangapi watapigia Ruto kura?” he asked, before jokingly adding that if President Ruto were to face a goat in an election, which one they would vote for.

The crowd burst into laughter and, amid cheers and whistles, jokingly declared they would choose the goat over the President.
The remark left Methu momentarily in disbelief as he observed that none of the attendees appeared willing to support President Ruto in the hypothetical contest.
