Who is Gideon Gichuki?
Gachuki made headlines in 2021 taking Kenyans by surprise after he boldly invited the ODM leader to his 22nd birthday party via a text message.
The last born in a family of four revealed that he got Raila’s number online but couldn’t immediately establish if it was a real one, but tried his luck anyway.
In previous interviews, Gachuki said he had initially tried to reach Raila via emails but they went unanswered.
He said after sending the text message, Raila replied to it and later called to confirm that he would attend his birthday party.

“Surprisingly he called and I invited him to my birthday and he confirmed that he would attend,” Gachuki said in an interview.
“It came as a surprise to me because I was not sure that Raila would do that during my birthday, I was surprised and that moment became a dream come true.”
At the time, Gachuki was a third-year student at the Kenya Institute of Management (KIM) pursuing Project Management.
Raila gifted Gachuki a dairy cow for his 22nd birthday.
He revealed that Raila’s surprise had placed him in the largest arena politically, not only in his village, ward, constituency, or county but country-wide.
