Speaking during a public engagement on Friday, July 31, Gachagua alleged that the President recently summoned Deputy President Kithure Kindiki at night for what he described as a "photo opportunity."
According to Gachagua, the move reminded him of what he says happened to him before he was removed from office.

"I saw Ruto summon Kindiki at night for a photo op. That is exactly what he used to do to me. Just when he was plotting my ouster, if he sensed an outcry, he would call me in for a photo," Gachagua claimed.
The former deputy president suggested that such public appearances were meant to send a message that all was well inside government even when there were internal disagreements. However, he did not provide evidence to support his allegations.
His remarks come at a time when political debate has intensified following his recent criticism of the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Gachagua has in recent days made several claims touching on government operations, security agencies and senior public officials, attracting both support and criticism from different political leaders.
The latest comments are also likely to fuel fresh speculation about the relationship between President Ruto and Deputy President Kindiki. In recent weeks, Kindiki has remained active in government functions and development tours alongside the President.
Neither President Ruto nor Deputy President Kindiki had publicly responded to Gachagua's latest remarks by the time of publication.
As the country moves closer to the 2027 General Election, political statements from both government and opposition leaders continue to shape public debate.
Gachagua's latest claims are expected to spark more reactions as Kenyans follow the changing political landscape.
