Speaking to his supporters, Gachagua said he was pleased with what he described as a commitment by police officers to conduct themselves professionally and refuse to follow unlawful instructions.
According to him, the assurance is a positive step toward ensuring that future elections are peaceful, transparent and credible.
"I am a very happy man; the police have told me they will not bungle the elections and they will not take illegal orders," Gachagua said, drawing cheers from the crowd.
The former deputy president has consistently raised concerns about electoral integrity particularly after recent by-elections in which he accused state agencies of interfering with the democratic process.
His latest remarks suggest he believes security officers are now prepared to protect the will of voters rather than become instruments of political influence.
Gachagua emphasized that the role of the police is to maintain law and order while safeguarding the constitutional rights of all Kenyans.
He urged security personnel to remain impartial and ensure that every citizen can vote freely without intimidation, violence or manipulation.
His comments come amid growing political activity as parties begin positioning themselves for the next General Election.
Electoral reforms, voter confidence and the neutrality of security agencies have become central issues in national political discussions with both government and opposition leaders calling for credible elections.
Supporters of Gachagua welcomed his statement, arguing that public confidence in the electoral process depends heavily on the professionalism of security officers.
They expressed hope that the police would remain faithful to their constitutional mandate regardless of political pressure.
Political analysts have noted that the conduct of security agencies during elections often plays a significant role in shaping public trust in the outcome.
Any commitment to impartiality is therefore likely to be welcomed by citizens and election observers alike.
As preparations for future elections continue, Gachagua maintained that respecting the rule of law and allowing voters to make their choices freely is essential for preserving Kenya's democratic institutions.
He called on all stakeholders including political leaders, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, security agencies and citizens to work together in promoting peaceful, free and fair elections that reflect the genuine will of the people.
