Sunday, March 29, 2026 - Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has vowed not to welcome latecomers from the current regime who may seek to associate with his camp ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking in Kirinyaga over the weekend, Gachagua claimed
that several Government officials have privately confided in him about their
intention to join his Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) in 2027.
However, he warned that such moves will not be tolerated.
“There are those working in Government who say they will
leave later after serving.”
“I want to state clearly that whoever is in the regime
should join DCP now, not wait until the last minute,” Gachagua declared.
Launched in May 2025, Gachagua has positioned DCP as Mt
Kenya’s dominant outfit, insisting that anyone from the region not vying on its
ticket will be considered a traitor.
The party is part of the United Opposition, which has
pledged to unseat President William Ruto.
Gachagua, who was impeached, maintains that he will be on
the presidential ballot, arguing that he is the best candidate to challenge
Ruto.
He has moved to court to contest his impeachment and insists
he will exhaust all legal avenues.
