Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has erupted back onto the scene this time with his very own political party! Thursday morning saw chaos and excitement swirl around Nairobi as Gachagua stormed the headquarters of the newly formed Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), flanked by a battalion of die-hard allies and defecting coalition leaders.
In a shocking power move, Gachagua didn’t wait he took the mic first, seizing the spotlight with an electrifying address that sent tremors through Kenya’s political landscape. The message?
He’s ready to battle President William Ruto head-on, and he’s not holding back.Adding fuel to the fire, former Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi appeared alongside a brigade of disgruntled political figures clearly signaling a major rift within the current regime.
“This is the party of the people the forgotten, the ignored, the silenced,” Gachagua declared passionately. “Our slogan is simple but loud: Please Listen to Kenyans!”Gachagua made it clear he’s hitting the road for the next two years to engage with citizens across the country.

“I’ve always been with the people, on the ground, in the trenches. Now I’m turning every stone in this nation to listen even deeper,” he said.This isn’t just politics it’s a rebellion.
Gachagua pledged that DCP will be the voice of the youth, the marginalized, people living with disabilities, and every citizen who’s felt abandoned. And there’s no room for favoritism.
“There will be no backdoor deals, no handpicked candidates. The people will choose. Period,” he thundered.The shockwaves didn’t stop there.
The interim leadership of this bold new force includes prominent names like Cleophas Malala, Cate Waruguru, and Maina Kamanda—signaling serious firepower behind the party.
The DCP’s identity is loud and proud: colors of green, brown, and black; a logo showing a hand to an ear symbolizing the art of truly listening to grassroots voices.
