People’s Liberation Party (PLP) party leader Martha Karua was on Sunday, May 4, 2025, treated to a grand reception when she visited former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s Wamunyoro home in Nyeri.
In a video that was livestreamed on Gachagua’s Facebook page, Karua is seen being received by a group of women who could be heard singing jubilation songs in the local Kikuyu dialect.
“Welcome to our Wamunyoro Residence, my sister, Hon. Martha Wangari Karua. We forge ahead for a great Kenya together,” Gachagua wrote on X.
Upon entering the compound, Karua was received by Pastor Dorcas Rigathi, who embraced her before she proceeded to embrace Gachagua.
She was then led into the house as the group of women continued singing jubilation songs in the compound.
Leaders allied to Gachagua, including Kiambu Senator Karungo Thang’wa, were present at the event.
Gachagua visits Karua
Karua’s visit to Wamunyoro comes months after Gachagua paid her a courtesy call at her rural home in Kimunye, Kirinyaga County.
Gachagua and his entourage visited Karua’s home on Saturday, January 25, 2025.
Speaking at the event that brought together the two former political nemeses, Gachagua stated that they had held a meeting in which they agreed on how they will be working ahead of the 2027 General Election.
He said that his political camp will be regularly consulting Karua based on her extensive experience in politics, public service, and legal matters.
Gachagua further stated that his camp will also work with other like-minded Kenyans.
Gachagua also expressed his gratitude to Karua for hosting him together with his team, noting that he would leave Kirinyaga a happy man for having reunited with his 2022 presidential election opponent.

He expressed confidence that the country would be liberated if Kenyans decided to join hands and work together.
“We have had a good conversation, and we have agreed that going forward we are going to work together with other Kenyans. I want to assure you that many Kenyans are looking for leadership. We will work together with like-minded Kenyans, patriots, and people who care for this country. We shall benefit a lot from her counsel; we will consult her regularly alongside other Kenyans of goodwill so that we liberate this country,” Gachagua stated.
It was after the meeting that the two started working together. Since then, they have held several meetings with other opposition leaders, including Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) party leader Eugene Wamalwa and Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni.
