The meeting comes a day after Gachagua also held a meeting with the MPs at his Harambe Annex office.
“We discussed issues touching on development in the respective areas of representation… Elections are over, and we must work together irrespective of our political affiliation.
“Indeed, President William Ruto and I have agreed that 2023 is the year of work, and we have to put the interests of the people first to build back our economy,” Gachagua said after meeting the MPs.
The two meetings are a signal of a Possible Jubilee party defection to Kenya Kwanza side, a move that could likely deal a blow to Raila Odinga.
