Cherargei mocks Gachagua’s tea and bread gimmicks in Mbeere North campaigns
Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has criticised the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader, Rigathi Gachagua, mocking his campaign style ahead of the Mbeere North by-election scheduled for November 27, 2025.
In a statement on Friday, November 21, 2025, Cherargei accused Gachagua, whom he referred to jokingly as “Mr. Quarter Term,” of panicking and resorting to desperate, door-to-door campaigns.

“Mr. Quarter Term cannot threaten anyone because he has panicked. That’s why he is walking around with a tea thermos flask and bread, campaigning from house to house, village to village, person to person, centre to centre—even plucking miraa and milking cows,” Cherargei said.

He questioned why Gachagua, who once claimed that the Mt. Kenya voting bloc was ‘under lock and key’, now appeared unsettled and overly aggressive on the campaign trail.
“Why is Wamunyoro suddenly panicked yet he told us Mt. Kenya votes are secured?” Cherargei posed.
The senator maintained that voters in Mbeere North would deliver a decisive message during the upcoming by-election.
“On 27th November, we shall teach him a lesson he will not forget,” he declared.
His remarks come shortly after Gachagua shared a firsthand account of the challenges facing the residents of Mbeere North as he continues his tour of the constituency.
Gachagua, who toured the villages of Kanyueri, Kiambundu, Ciuriari, and Mbaraga in Evurore Ward on his third day in the area, took to his Facebook page on Wednesday, November 19, 2025, to reveal their concerns.

He outlined a choking, taxing regime and declining standards of the muguka businesses among the issues of utmost concern to the residents.
“In the villages of Kanyueri, Kiambundu, Ciuriari, and Mbaraga of the Evurore Ward, I shared a jovial village conversation with my fellow villagers and spoke openly about the truth about this brutal regime,” he said.
“They told me they can hardly breathe anymore; their Muguka business is down, taxes are choking them, and their sons are being brutally murdered, to say the least,” he stated.
