Peter Munya, leader of the Patriotic National Union (PNU), has criticized Rigathi Gachagua, accusing him of being a bully and urging him to use more respectful political language. The comments come amid tensions within the opposition alliance, as Munya expressed his reluctance to support Gachagua for president (peopledaily.digital).

Munya’s remarks highlight growing divisions within the opposition, which has been struggling to maintain unity. He argued that Gachagua’s behavior undermines the credibility of the group and hampers their ability to present a united front against the ruling party. The fallout follows a recent incident where Munya reportedly confronted Gachagua over perceived disrespect toward other leaders (tuko.co.ke).

The dispute underscores the challenges faced by opposition leaders in Kenya as they navigate internal conflicts while trying to build a cohesive political strategy. Munya’s public criticism marks a significant moment in the ongoing power dynamics within the opposition ranks.
