## Gachagua on Voter Mobilisation
Kenya's democracy party presidential candidate Rigathi Gachagua says voter mobilisation is essential for becoming president.

> I heard another fellow, I think from jubilee, saying that we have many candidates. Some are very good at mobilisation. Very good. They can mobilise votes, but they are not electable.
## Gachagua's Election Requirement
Gachagua insists presidential leadership must be achieved through voter support, not appointment.

> You must be voted in. You must mobilise voters. How else can you become president? Nobody can appoint you to that position from the comfort of their home.
## Gachagua on Post-Election Commitment
Gachagua states candidates must publicly commit to supporting other candidates if not elected.

> I cannot accept a situation where your supporters say that if it is not so-and-so, they will vote for ruto. That only happens because you remain silent.
## Key takeaway

Kenyan presidential candidate Rigathi Gachagua says winning the election requires mobilising voters, not being appointed.
