A video circulating widely on social media showing former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua purchasing medicine at a local chemist in Kisii has ignited speculation about his health.
The clip, reportedly recorded shortly after a public rally in the region, captures Gachagua walking into a pharmacy and engaging with attendants before leaving with what appears to be medication.
While the exact nature of the medicine remains unclear, the footage has fueled online debate, with some Kenyans questioning whether the former DP may be dealing with an undisclosed health issue.
The incident comes amid Gachagua’s continued political engagements across the country, including recent rallies aimed at consolidating his support base.
Observers noted that he appeared energetic during his Kisii address, making the chemist visit all the more intriguing to supporters and critics alike.
However, it is not uncommon for public figures to seek over-the-counter medication for minor ailments such as fatigue, flu, or headaches—especially after long travel schedules and high-energy political events.
Without an official statement from Gachagua or his team, any claims regarding his health remain speculative.
