Nuru Okanga unveils plans to campaign for MCA using Gachagua’s viral Mercedes convertible
By Steve Ireri, March 28, 2026Political commentator Nuru Okanga has expressed hope that former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua will allow him to use the viral Mercedes-Benz convertible he rode in during the Tuko Kadi initiative to campaign for an MCA seat in his constituency.
In a video shared on his TikTok page on Saturday, March 28, 2026, Okanga stated that he intends to bring the same vehicle to Orera Ward for his campaign, noting that it will serve as a centrepiece in attracting attention and signalling his dedication.
“I will be vying for MCA in Orera Ward, and these are the kind of cars I will bring to that ward for my campaign. And let no one deceive you; Orera Ward things will be on fire. These are the type of cars I will bring there,” Okanga said.
Okanga explained that he will be accompanied by a bodyguard at the front and two additional people at the back while campaigning across the constituency.
He stressed that he will approach the MCA race with energy and zeal, showing commitment to both his supporters and the DCP Party.
“This Mercedes convertible belongs to Rigathi Gachagua, the DCP Party leader, and he has revealed that this Mercedes, when I go to Western to campaign, is the one that will be ferrying me. I will be seated with a bodyguard here at the front and two more people at the back,” he said.
He highlighted his admiration for Gachagua, describing him as a leader whose actions and visibility, including the Mercedes ride, inspire his political strategy. Okanga also indicated that the vehicle’s public recognition will help him engage voters more effectively while building momentum for his campaign.
Furthermore, he addressed critics who have questioned his support for Gachagua, insisting that his loyalty is unwavering and that his campaign strategy, including the use of the convertible, is intended to energise constituents rather than provoke controversy.
“I will come for that seat with zeal. So much, and I support Rigathi Gachagua, the DCP Party leader. And for all those who are feeling bad that I have chosen to support Gachagua, mind your business,” Nuru added.
Sugoi Prison
In a related development, Nuru also appealed to Rigathi Gachagua, saying that when he assumes the presidency in 2027, he should appoint him the Interior Cabinet Secretary for just one week.
He explained that this brief tenure would allow him to deal with leaders who, in his view, have frustrated Kenyans.
He also revealed plans to build a prison in Sugoi, where he intends to jail President William Ruto and other leaders he believes have caused suffering during their regimes.
“I want in 2027; you give me the Interior CS job for just one week so I can deal with some leaders. They have frustrated me so much with this government that we currently have. And then in Sugoi, I will also build a prison, and in that prison, I will jail Ruto there,” he said.
