Kiambu Senator Karungo wa Thangwa has extended an invitation to politicians who supported the impeachment of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to join his party. Speaking during an interview on the Alpha House Podcast on September 5, 2026, Karungo emphasized that those who participated in the impeachment process are welcome to align with the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP).
The senator, known for his outspoken views, stated that the decision to impeach Gachagua was a political move, and he sees no reason to exclude those who took part. His remarks come amid ongoing political tensions following the impeachment, which sparked debates about accountability and party loyalty.
Karungo is part of a committee responsible for vetting politicians, and his call for unity reflects efforts to rebuild political alliances. The invitation is seen as a potential step toward reconciliation, though the political landscape remains complex.
The DCP has not yet responded publicly to the offer, but the move highlights shifting dynamics in Kenya’s political scene.
