Political analyst Herman Manyora argues that Uhuru Kenyatta remains the spiritual leader of Mount Kenya region, while Rigathi Gachagua is in charge of ground politics.
Manyora argues that Gachagua's influence is the reason Murang'a Governor Irungu Kang'ata has been cautious about attacking him.
Manyora further argues that any politician seeking elective office in Mount Kenya region in 2027 will have to go through Gachagua, describing him as the gateway to the region's politics.
