Gachagua Vows to Make Ruto a One-Term President Former DP Rigathi Gachagua on Monday swore to do whatever it takes to make President William Ruto a one-term president. Speaking alongside opposition politicians Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa, Gachagua declared that he will work with all Kenyans to challenge Ruto’s administration and ensure the president doesn’t see a second term in office. He lashed out at Ruto’s government, calling it a dictatorship and accusing the president of being intolerant. "He wants his way, and all those ministers are just flower girls," Gachagua said, adding that he was the only one who could stand up to Ruto. Gachagua has repeatedly criticized Ruto’s administration since his ouster through impeachment in October 2024. He decried the government as a “one-man show,” claiming ministers have been reduced to mere sycophants. He called on Kenyans to rise against Ruto and warned that any reckless statements made by Ruto or his officials should be documented and forwarded to the International Criminal Court. The former DP has also been forging alliances with political figures he previously opposed. Just recently, he met Martha Karua, the NARC Kenya leader and Raila Odinga’s running mate in 2022, to discuss how they could unite and challenge Ruto’s “dictatorship.” Gachagua’s political future is taking shape through consultative meetings with leaders from different sectors at his Wamunyoro home in Nyeri. In another fiery statement, Gachagua revealed that Mt Kenya could support Western Kenya in the 2027 election, just as they backed Ruto in 2022. He warned that Ruto should not take Western Kenya’s support for granted, and said Mt Kenya could even back Kalonzo Musyoka. Gachagua pointed out that Ruto’s 47% support in Mt Kenya, which contributed to his victory, is now up for grabs and that the region has already started shifting its political allegiance. The former DP also tore into the promises made to Western Kenya, accusing the government of failing to deliver on its pledges, including the promised 1,000 kilometres of tarmacked roads. He was unapologetic, asserting that the region was no longer willing to support a government that does not keep its word.

What appears to be the climax of a simmering feud between ICT and National Guidance Minister Chris Baryomunsi and Chief of Defence Forces Muhoozi Kainerugaba has now erupted into the open. In a bold and provocative move, Muhoozi has threatened that Baryomunsi will never again be appointed a minister in his father’s cabinet—an unmistakable display of power politics at the highest level. Baryomunsi, however, refused to be intimidated. In a defiant response, he dismissed the threat outright, declaring that his political rise was forged through personal merit and competence, not patronage or political favors. Escalating the confrontation, Baryomunsi accused Muhoozi of suffering from “Peter Pan syndrome,” a stinging charge that questions the CDF’s political maturity and readiness for leadership. This unfolding showdown is more than a personal clash—it is a revealing glimpse into the deepening fault lines within Uganda’s ruling elite, where authority, ambition, and entitlement collide in public view. What follows is my commentary on this explosive political standoff. YouTube -

“Si Alikuwa Anakuja Hapa Juu Ya Gari Anakula Miraa?” Gachagua Tears into Ruto in Meru Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has launched a scathing rebuke against President William Ruto, accusing him of orchestrating a wider plan to destabilize the Mt. Kenya region by first crippling its political leadership before turning on its economic foundations. Speaking at a charged church gathering at AIPCA Igembe North in Meru County, Gachagua alleged that the president, alongside a clique of influential operatives within State House, is systematically eroding the region’s leadership to eliminate any effective resistance. He warned that once political figures have been subdued, businesses in the region will be left vulnerable, as there will be no strong voices left to defend them. Gachagua framed the alleged scheme to remove Chief Justice Martha Koome as part of this broader effort, arguing that her ouster is not merely an attack on the judiciary but a calculated step in dismantling Mt. Kenya’s influence. “Rais amepanga kufukuzza Justice Martha Koome,” he roared. “Amepanga pale kortini na amehonga watu!” He declared that if Ruto proceeds with the plan, he should forget about setting foot in Meru. “Ukifukuza Martha Koome, usijaribu kukanyanga hapa Meru tena!” he warned, telling the crowd that the community must resist what he described as a deliberate assault on its political and economic standing. Gachagua also took aim at Meru leaders, including Members of Parliament, accusing them of being summoned and politically compromised to align with the president’s agenda. He claimed they had abandoned their duty to protect the region and instead chosen self-preservation. He further criticised Ruto’s failure to honour his campaign pledges to miraa farmers, pointing out that the president had promised to revitalise the trade by removing barriers that prevent growers from earning better profits. “Si alikuwa anakuja hapa kwa gari anakula miraa akiwa juu?” he asked the crowd, triggering a spirited response of applause and laughter. He faulted Ruto of using theatrics to endear himself to the people of Meru during the campaign period, only to neglect them after securing power.

If the agenda on the table is to flaunt their anti-Hindu credentials, the MPs of the I.N.D.I. Alliance wear it like a badge of honour. All the loud talk of Constitutional rights is nothing but rhetoric for this group. And now, moving an impeachment motion against a Judge, despite an appeal already filed by the TN DMK Govt before the Honourable Supreme Court, reveals nothing but a desperate attempt to feed their politics of minority appeasement. What purpose does this political drama serve, except signalling that the rule of law is secondary to vote-bank politics? Are they also sending a message to our country that if the I.N.D.I. Alliance doesn’t like any Judge’s verdict, they will use the impeachment process as a tool to threaten the judiciary into submission? What can be a greater threat to the Constitution than this? For the people of our country, DMK and the I.N.D.I. Alliance have once again proved that for them, divisive politics comes first.

Before Rory Stewart decided to become a leftist he once offered an absolutely amazing defence of traditional British culture and the romantic High Tory tradition. Everyone should watch this to understand why it is so sad that traditional British culture is being swept away by the mass demographic displacement unleashed by the Boriswave. How on Earth someone like Rory Stewart could spend so much of his life thinking like this before ultimately deciding one day that mass demographic displacement and the resultant cultural alienation it produces was fine is a complete mystery. What he outlines here is an emotional attachment to place, country, ancestry. National stewardship. Something passed down through the generations. Completely eviscerated and destroyed by a post-national political class with an intense sense of shame, guilt and self-loathing for the crime of having been born British. A political and media class completely blinded to its own hardcore adherence to a set of unquestioned political and cultural assumptions about the world that would have been utterly bizarre and alien to the vast majority of human beings throughout the entire history of humanity. A set of political and cultural assumptions that ultimately seem to boil down to the core idea that foreigners are more morally deserving of the British patrimony than the actual descendants of the British. Therefore wanting to maintain any level of cultural continuity with Britain as it has actually existence for more than one thousand years is racist. Just stunning that Rory could once think like this and yet decide he now doesn’t care about migration. And truly stunning that this immense national inheritance, an amazing gift passed down through the generations for one thousand years, has been squandered within like 25 years of misgovernment.

Yesterday, at the Senate plenary, I voted NO to the proviso that has the capacity of whittling down the mandatory electronic transmission of election results from the polling units in Form EC8A. As I have explained severally, this proviso adds nothing to the law but has the capacity to be misused, misunderstood, and used to undermine electoral integrity and transparency. My view is that INEC has already explained that it has the capacity to transmit election results in over 90% of polling units. Therefore, I feel it is the duty of INEC, once we make it mandatory, to come up with guidelines and regulations that will stipulate strict conditions for the few cases where presiding officers may not be able to transmit electronically as a result of communication failure; and these, from the last INEC report, cannot be more than 7%. My view, therefore, is that we should leave it for INEC to handle through its regulations and guidelines. The law should only make provision for mandatory electronic transmission, which we have done, and we should stop there. Hence, I voted yesterday, galvanised opinions, and also joined in voting NO to the inclusion of the proviso. Unfortunately, as I have said, the majority is determined to utilise its numbers, and they did so effectively. In a democracy, the majority has its way, but the minority will have its say. I believe that the majority should be used for the national good and not otherwise. It is now left for INEC to stipulate strict conditions for the admission of election results not transmitted electronically. It is also for the courts to bear in mind the general good when interpreting this section to promote electoral integrity and transparency. As I have said, the citizens must not give up. They should organise and support candidates and parties that promote and respect democratic norms, and organise and mobilise against candidates and parties that do otherwise. We wish Nigeria well. —HSD.

Professor Lovemore Madhuku in his Own Words Making the Case for Parliament to Indirectly Elect the President as an Electoral College: “We must not put in the Constitution of the country a provision that is dependant on what happens in a political party. That’s the point I’m making. We must never say in our Constitution of Zimbabwe that if a sitting President dies or resigns, we will wait to hear what the political party of that President is saying. No. That is not the best way of running a country. Political parties remain the preserve of those people who are in those political parties. But the country is run on the basis of either an election by the people—direct election—or you have Parliament as an institution sitting as an electoral college. Where parties have influence, they must do the influence within Parliament, but never to allow the political party to sit there to say I’m giving you this President, and so forth. That’s the point I’m making. And on that point, I’m making it right across the world; that’s what they do.” - Professor Madhuku, addressing a “Heal Zimbabwe Trust” public meeting in Harare on 22 February 2020. COMMENT: Professor Lovemore Madhuku’s 2020 remarks make a clear, powerful and enduring case for Clause 3 of the Constitution of Zimbabwe (Amendment No. 3) H.B.I. Bill, 2026. This clause replaces the direct election of the President with an indirect election by Parliament sitting jointly as an electoral college; both after every general election and, when necessary, to fill any vacancy in the office of President. The current direct election of the President was first introduced in anticipation of a legislated one-party-one-man rule through Constitution Amendment No. 7, Act 1987 in the old Lancaster Constitution repealed in 2013. Professor Madhuku put it plainly: The Constitution should not—as it currently does— depend on the internal decisions of a political party to select a successor to the President of the country. When a sitting President dies, resigns or is removed, the nation should not have to wait and hear what that President’s political party “is saying.” That is not a constitutionally proper way to run a country. Political parties exist for their own members. The country, however, belongs to all Zimbabweans. The proper solution is straightforward: Parliament—the institution chosen by the people—should act as the electoral college. Inside that open forum, parties may exercise their influence transparently and accountably. No party should ever stand outside the Constitution and simply “give” the nation its next leader. This principle is not abstract. Worldwide, presidential by-elections to fill mid-term vacancies are extremely rare. Most stable presidential systems instead use automatic succession by a deputy or, increasingly, allow the legislature to elect a successor who serves out the remainder of the term. These arrangements place national continuity and stability above partisan interests. Clause 3 of the Bill follows exactly this proven path. By giving Parliament the clear duty to elect the President—whether at the start of a new term or in an unforeseen vacancy—Zimbabwe will secure stronger democratic stability, and keep the highest office firmly within the people’s constitutional framework rather than the private control of any single party. In short, Clause 3 is a mature, practical and principled reform that directly honours Professor Madhuku’s wise 2020 counsel. As such, it deserves the full support of every well-meaning Zimbabwean who values good governance, democratic constitutionalism, institutional integrity and the long-term strength of the country’s democracy in the national interest!

These arrangements place national continuity and stability above partisan interests. Clause 3 of the Bill follows exactly this proven path. By giving Parliament the clear duty to elect the President—whether at the start of a new term or in an unforeseen vacancy—Zimbabwe will secure stronger democratic stability, and keep the highest office firmly within the people’s constitutional framework rather than the private control of any single party. In short, Clause 3 is a mature, practical and principled reform that directly honours Professor Madhuku’s wise 2020 counsel. As such, it deserves the full support of every well-meaning Zimbabwean who values good governance, democratic constitutionalism, institutional integrity and the long-term strength of the country’s democracy in the national interest!

Oliver Tambo: “Just about anything is welcome as an alternative to the Apartheid system”. This is what happens when a liberation movement defines its primary victory negatively. In this case, as the removal of a regime rather than the affirmation of a specific economic system. By declaring that “just about anything is welcome”, Tambo was speaking from the urgency of the time, but that signalled to White capital and the National Party that the ANC’s political flexibility was nearly infinite. The then-President of the ANC had announced that his liberation movement was open to anything. Tambo’s logic that defeat of the enemy was the sole immediate objective meant that concrete economic strategy was relegated to an afterthought. And because the ANC was hyper-focused on ending racial oppression at any cost, the Apartheid regime and White capital ensured that the cost went as high as possible. To capitalise on this weakness, the White minority gave the ANC political authority, and in return they gained property rights protection, central bank independence, the Bill of Rights, Constitutional supremacy, the maintenance of the old macro-economic system and the ability to externalise capital. Because the ANC had deferred the development of a concrete economic policy, when it inherited the state in 1994, it didn’t have a solid economic model that could withstand international market pressure and IMF/World Bank influence. The rest is history. This “anything but this” logic didn’t stay confined to the ANC’s leadership, though. Three decades later, it has become the default mindset of the voters themselves, in the form of negative voting. The 2024 general election outcome, which forced the creation of the Government of National Unity, is a classic example of this mentality. Sections of the public, fed up with the ANC, were desperate to “vote it out” and constantly encouraged other voters to “vote for anyone but the ANC”, instead of voting *for* something specific. So, just like the ANC in the ’80s and ’90s, 2024 was dictated by what South Africans were desperate to destroy rather than what they were organised to build. Until this changes, the outcome will continuously default to more compromise and more stagnation.

🚨 BIG BREAKING from Pakistan A new power struggle has erupted between the military, political parties, & Asim Munir In Pakistan, the issue of the possible Chief of Defence Forces (CDF) position has turned into a heated contest over power, influence, & control of the institutions. The debate has now heated up, sparking a major battle between the army, politicians, & the media. A small influential circle within the army, backed by the United States & Israel, supports Asim Munir, insisting that General Asim Munir is the most suitable candidate for this position. They argue that the army is the country's strongest defence force. The opposing side — mostly consisting of military generals & political parties against Asim Munir — says that victory in modern warfare depends on technology & air power, not the strength of the ground forces. At the same time, supporters of PTI and other major political parties, along with the public, are calling this move an ″administrative coup.″ They believe this step is being taken to consolidate Asim Munir's power & ensure the army's dominance, not for reforms. Several analysts express concern from an international perspective, warning that if the control over nuclear weapons & military decisions becomes centralized in Asim Munir's office, it will weaken Pakistan against global pressures & give foreign powers greater opportunities for influence.

Tomorrow is an important day. We are anticipating a historic conclusion from the European Union—a report on Ukraine's implementation of the European Commission's recommendations. And we are already planning our next steps following this report. Our legislative efforts and the strengthening of state institutions. Ukraine has already come a long way toward stronger ties with the European Union. We are fully aware that EU membership relies on a political decision shared by all EU members that want to see a new state join, but it also relies on the candidate state itself and its work to approximate and adapt EU standards and community norms. Ukraine will join the EU. And we will achieve this, in particular, as a result of our state's internal transformation that is completely consistent with the interests of our people. The EU represents economic security and social stability for Ukraine, and Ukraine represents the strengthening of the entire EU community. And it is critical that the Ukrainian parliament continues to support the legislative efforts required for our European integration.

. Dan Bongino explains there are people within the administration working against Trump and his agenda. They are gearing up for their own political runs. That much is clear. He makes a very important point here, why are all the leaks specifically designed to push the narrative that Trump doesn’t control his own administration? That is not a leftist talking point because the left doesn’t care if he controls the administration or not all they care about is dunking on the administration. This is a talking point from the walk right because the woke Wright wants to remake the Republican Party and remake the agenda the way they do that is by pretending like when Trump tells you this is his agenda. He doesn’t really mean it because he’s just not powerful enough to stand up to whoever’s running the show. They say this without an iota of proof, and then they leaked stories that make it more plausible for you to believe that, even though every single one of these stories blows up in their face. Who are the leakers? A lot of people have a lot of great ideas as to who they really are based on the money movement and the campaigns that are being prepared for takeoff as soon as possible for the 2028 election cycle. I have learned this year that politics is the single dirtiest most disgusting game that exists, and the lengths to which people will go will shock you and I am a person who is already jaded about the entire political arena. That being said, this is still the single greatest country in the world, and we have to fight for the agenda that we voted for and not give up.

🚨IS STARMER COMPROMISED? FROM FREE SPEECH DEFENDER TO JAILING PEOPLE FOR SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS 🤔🔒 What Happened To The Uk Prime Minister And Why His Stance On Social Media Arrests Flipped So Dramatically In 2012, as Director of Public Prosecutions, Keir Starmer proudly declared himself a guardian of free speech. In that now-infamous video he insisted: “Where a communication is merely offensive... principles of free speech require a high threshold, and dictate that a prosecution is unlikely to be in the public interest.” Today, Prime Minister Starmer presides over a regime that has racked up around 12,000 arrests tied solely to social media posts. The numbers are so grotesque that even Russia and China suddenly look like bastions of free speech by comparison. The hypocrisy is breathtaking. Many on X are no longer asking politely — they’re outright declaring that Starmer has been compromised. Whether it’s political cowardice, shadowy external influence, or naked authoritarian instinct, the man who once set a high bar for prosecution now jails people for hurting feelings online. He still trots out the same tired lines about “protecting children” and preventing disorder after the 2024 riots. But the latest escalation is his determined push for brand-new laws specifically targeting “Islamophobic” content. Critics say this is not about hate — it’s about criminalising legitimate public concern and dissent over mass migration, the rapid demographic changes, growing Islamic influence in public life, grooming gang scandals that were long ignored, and the general state of the country. What many see as valid political criticism and free debate is now being re-labelled as illegal “Islamophobia” to shut it down. What started as emergency measures after unrest has quietly morphed into a broader, relentless expansion of censorship dressed up in ever-changing justifications. The old Keir is nowhere to be seen. The contrast is damning.
