I agree that Gachagua is not a likeable character;
He is not smilling type of charismatic leader like Ruto;
But this is war that majority of GEMA are fighting against the Kenyatta Empire and it's allies
That is whole hustler nation propaganda foundation.
And in this war - Gachagua has distinguished himself as the greatest warrior.
And people will just have to love him
unless they want to abandon the fight against Kenyatta empire and it's state capture
And embrace Uhuru Kenyatta (Azimio)
I find that hard to believe 1) Kikuyus will like Azimio 2) Will like Azimio regardless of Munya or PK 3) Anybody consider Martha as their leader.
This not mainstream kikuyu thinking. That is more renegade..like my ODM brother take on Kalenjin politics.
Even in Nyeri Gachagua isn't very popular other than with the usual hustler crowd. He's a brute, stole from nyeri county when he was PA of his older brother just 6yrs ago. The much heralded mobilization skills just means he's able to pay to mobilize. Among the older crowd Rigathi isn't popular at all, even in mathira it wasn't going to be a cakewalk for him.
In kiambu where he was a DO he isn't popular. Anyhow in a nutshell Gema is indirectly selecting its next leader, Gachagua or Karua, most gema would select karua or munya irregardless of their position in azimio. The best thing now would be for uhuru to recede in the background and let the future leaders compete. Bottomline it'll come down to who would gema trust most . Just my layman observation. I especially dislike his amateurish populist economic proposal of minimum guarantee returns.
