Gachagua denied seeking to merge political parties in Mt Kenya into the Democratic Congress Party (DCP), stating that maintaining multiple parties within the United Opposition would strengthen their position ahead of the 2027 General Election. The claim came during a recent political statement where Gachagua emphasized the importance of unity without compromising the diversity of political representation.
The leader of the opposition highlighted that the presence of several parties in the region could provide a broader base of support and more effective advocacy for the interests of the local population. This stance comes amid ongoing discussions about the political landscape in Kenya’s western region, where various groups are vying for influence ahead of the upcoming elections.
Gachagua’s remarks were made in response to recent speculation about potential alliances between opposition parties. While he ruled out any direct request for parties in Mt Kenya to join the DCP, he left the door open for future collaboration if it served the common good. (eastleighvoice.co.ke)
