Kahiga, who at one point warned of unspecified consequences should Gachagua be impeached said the country is “bigger than all of us” hence the need to support him.
“We have no problem with Kindiki and we are okay with his appointment,” he said.
Speaking in Nyeri, Mutahi also wished President William Ruto well as he steers the country vowing to continue to support him in delivering on his mandate to the people.
He, however, urged him (Ruto) not to abandon the county following the removal of Gachagua.
“Nyeri should not be out of the map of the government of Kenya, because that was our seat and we still have three years to go and so we should not be forgotten,” he said.
“We do not want to see others eat as we salivate. We want to plead with him to think about the people of Nyeri as move forward”.
In a past event, Kahiga had termed the plans to impeach Gachagua as an affront to the people of Mt Kenya as he stated Ruto was no longer popular in the region.
Kindiki was sworn in Friday to succeed Gachagua as the third deputy president after the Senate upheld his impeachment.
In his first address Saturday, Gachagua assured his supporters that he won’t quit politics yet.
He said he would be meeting opinion leaders before giving his direction.
"I am not quitting politics, my political ambition is unstoppable and I ask my people who feel as if they have been left without a leader to be patient. I will soon show them the political route to follow," he said.
"Religious leaders, residents and professionals have been calling on me saying the region has been left without a spokesperson. They want me to declare my political stand. I want to tell them I'm holding discussions with opinion leaders and I will give them a clear direction at the right time," he added.
A three judge-bench hearing the impeachment case that sought to stop Kindiki from being sworn in is set to hear the matter on November 7.
