Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has indicated that his Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) is gaining more support ahead of his upcoming visit to Nakuru, according to a report from peopledaily.digital. The visit is expected to highlight the party’s growing influence in regional politics.

Gachagua has also responded to criticisms from political rivals, including Justin Muturi, who accused the DCP of dominating Mt Kenya politics. In a statement published by tuko.co.ke, Gachagua dismissed these claims as “whining in press conferences,” urging opponents to focus on strengthening their own parties. He emphasized the DCP’s commitment to inclusivity and collaboration.

The DCP’s increasing support comes amid ongoing political shifts in Kenya. Gachagua’s leadership has been marked by efforts to broaden the party’s appeal across different regions and demographics. His upcoming visit to Nakuru is seen as a strategic move to consolidate this support and engage with local leaders.

Political analysts suggest that Gachagua’s public stance reflects a broader strategy to position the DCP as a key player in the country’s political landscape. (peopledaily.digital) (tuko.co.ke)
