Just moments after Donald Trump declared victory in the just concluded US polls after he had captured Pennsylvania, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has joined other Kenyan leaders in sending congratulatory messages to him.
Taking to his official X account on Wednesday, November 6, 2024, Gachagua termed Trump’s self-declared victory as one of the greatest political comebacks of the current generation.
Gachagua further stated that Trump’s victory is clear proof that resilience and a never-say-die attitude would always trump obstacles on the path of someone’s destiny.
“Congratulations President Donald Trump, for one of the greatest political come-backs of our generation. Your victory is clear proof that resilience and a never-say-die attitude will always TRUMP obstacles on the path to your destiny. God Bless You. God Bless America,” Gachagua stated.
Gachagua joins other several Kenyan political leaders who have also taken to their official social media accounts to congratulate Trump.

With Pennsylvania gone, Vice President Kamala Harris’s “blue wall” along the Great Lakes has cracked, and her path to becoming the first woman in the Oval Office has nearly disappeared.
Republicans also flipped control of the Senate with a string of key victories.
