During a meeting in South Mugirango, of his rival assistant minister, Omingo Magara, the two made peace.
Nyachae and Magara, who had bitter exchanges before last year’s General Election as they led PNU and ODM camps in Gusiiland, shook hands and hugged, promising to work together.
Nyachae said he had no grudge against Magara and described the South Mugirango MP as a good and dedicated politician.
"I have no grudge against Magara. We assisted him to join politics and I can see he is doing well," said Nyachae.
The former Nyaribari Chache MP said he was leading a quiet and comfortable life out of politics and advised other leaders who lost in the last elections to accept defeat and work with the new MPs.
"We don’t have to harbour bad feelings against our MPs. We should work with them in ensuring that our community gets its rightful share in the coalition Government," said Nyachae.
Magara echoed Nyachae’s sentiments, saying: "We went different routes because of our divergent political beliefs. We had no personal differences."
Magara, who is also the Trade assistant minister, said Kisii leaders should meet to chart the political future of the community.
Nyachae and Magara were speaking during the burial of Moraa Onserio, mother of East African Legislative MP, Mr Reuben Oyondi, at Nyangweta in South Mugirango.
Other leaders at the ceremony included Oyondi, who is also the Ford People chairman, party official Manson Nyamweya, assistant minister Joel Onyancha and a former MP, Dr Hezron Manduku.
Onyancha said Ford People colleagues who lost in the December polls were not bitter and supported calls for teamwork.
" We should work together for the interest of the community," said Onyancha.
