Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has launched a new political party called the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP). The party’s official colours are brown, white, and neon green.
Unveiled on Thursday, May 15, DCP is the platform Gachagua intends to use in his bid for the 2027 General Election. The party’s logo features an ear with fingers cupped around it, symbolising its mission to “listen to Kenyans.” Its slogan, Skiza Wakenya (Listen to Kenyans), reflects this.
Gachagua says the party rejects lies and false promises. In a bold statement, he said, “I detest lies. That’s why I disagreed with liar number one,” in what seemed to be a reference to his former boss.
He made it clear that no one will receive direct nominations, even his close allies.
DCP also announced its interim leadership, including Cleophas Malala as Deputy Party Leader and Mithika Linturi as National Organising Secretary. Other notable leaders include David Mingati, Peter Mwathi, Hesbon Obanga, and Cate Waruguru.
The party is set to be officially launched on June 4. Gachagua says DCP is here to truly listen to Kenyans.
