President William Ruto announced at the funeral of former Ol Kalou MP David Kiaraho that construction of Nyandarua University will begin next month. He committed Ksh 350 million for the groundbreaking phase and Ksh 1 billion for operations. The event also featured political exchanges between Ruto and Rigathi Gachagua.
Building on late 2025 calls for Mt Kenya East to break from the West, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki held 15 meetings across the region from March 1 to April 27, 2026, challenging Rigathi Gachagua's influence. Public Service Minister Geoffrey Ruku envisions a new bloc led by Kindiki, but faces local pushback.

The incident follows a heated exchange of letters alleging plots to disrupt the event.
