Gachagua receives UDA defectors, insists he is best candidate to face Ruto

Runyenjes Member of Parliament Eric Karemba and his Subukia counterpart Samuel Gachobe became the latest additions to the DCP team.

Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) Leader Rigathi Gachagua maintains that he is the strongest candidate to fly the opposition's flag in the 2027 presidential race.

Speaking in his Wamunyoro home in Nyeri County, Gachagua said he was the strongest candidate to fly the opposition's flag in the 2027 presidential race as he welcomed two more members of Parliament and 30 Nyeri County Assembly members into his DCP after they officially decamped from UDA.

The DCP leader reiterated that the defections proved he remained the best opposition candidate to face President William Ruto at the ballot next year.

“Mimi ndiye niko na umaarufu zaidi na ni matumaini yangu kwamba ni mimi. Lakini ikisemekana si mimi, nitawashawishi wenzangu tuunge yeye mkono,” said Gachagua.

The two new members said they had found a new political home and a cause to champion.

“We now have a party that we can call ours, and I am now going to be part of a team which will bring the necessary change and that we win the positions in governorship and ward level,”
