Former DP and DCP Party leader Gachagua affirms opposition’s unity in push against President Ruto
The Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has reiterated that the opposition remains united in its efforts to remove President William Ruto from office during the 2027 General Elections.
Speaking during a church service at PCEA Miharati Parish in Kipipiri constituency, Nyandarua county earlier today, Gachagua emphasised that the opposition coalition will stay cohesive for the sake of the nation.
He has further stated that the opposition plans to present a single presidential candidate to run against President Ruto, urging residents of Nyandarua to support whoever the opposition selects as their flagbearer.
Addressing concerns raised by his Deputy Party Leader, Cleophas Malala, over the appointment of Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi as chair of the United Opposition Secretariat, Gachagua highlighted the importance of balancing youthfulness with experience.
“While it’s vital to include young leaders, we also need seasoned voices to guide the team,” he said.
“Our resolve to get rid of wanton corruption, extrajudicial killings, mismanagement of resources, and disrespect for our system of governance remains undeterred. We remain focused and uninterrupted in our efforts to bring in a new governance system, respect for the rule of law, and the betterment of the people of Kenya,” Gachagua added.
Gachagua assured that many young leaders will be integrated into the secretariat, fostering a mix of experience and youthful energy.
“The resilience of the people of Mawingu in Kipipiri Constituency, Nyandarua County, is truly unmatched. I deeply appreciate your dedication to rectifying past wrongs and working tirelessly towards building a brighter, more prosperous future for Kenya. Together, we are forging a path of hope, growth, and resilience,” Gachagua added while addressing a mammoth crowd of supporters at Mawingu.
Gachagua was accompanied by a host of national and local leaders, including Nyandarua Senator John Methu, Kipipiri MP Wanjiku Muhia, Kajiado North MP Onesmus Ngogoyo, Tetu MP Geoffrey Wandeto, Embakasi Central MP Benjamin Gathiru, Naivasha MP Jayne Kihara, among others.
