Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is planning a major political gathering in Nairobi on June 4, 2025, for the national launch of his Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP).

The event, which will be held in the capital city, is expected to attract key figures from the opposition coalition as Gachagua unveils his 2027 political agenda.

Gachagua, who announced the party’s name on May 15, 2025, said the DCP will hold a national jamboree next month to mark its official national launch.

The event will also mark the start of a massive grassroots campaign to register members across the country and his countrywide tours to popularise the party ahead of the 2027 general elections.

“This is not just a political party, but an ideology and philosophy for every Kenyan—regardless of faith, creed, age, tribe, or colour,” Gachagua said.

“The National Executive Council has spent the last two years engaging with the people of the Republic of Kenya—travelling to every corner of the country, visiting villages, and listening to the people—to build one of the most formidable political movements since independence.”

“It is from this engagement that we shall craft our manifesto based on the needs of Kenyans.”

On May 15, 2025, Gachagua also unveiled the DCP headquarters in Lavington, Nairobi, and named interim party officials, including Cleophas Malala as Deputy Party Leader.

During the unveiling, prominent political figures were notably absent, amid reports that they had agreed to let Gachagua launch the party and handle internal matters first.

They are expected to join him at the national launch on June 4, where he will showcase his political strength alongside party delegates from across the country.

“We shall hold the national launch of the party at a venue to be confirmed in Nairobi on June 4, 2025,” Gachagua announced.

"We have received thousands of applications from aspirants across the country seeking to contest for various positions—including governors, senators, MPs, and MCAs.”

Speaking at the party’s headquarters in Lavington on Thursday, Gachagua also revealed that he has spent the past six months at home in consultations to shape the party’s direction.

He noted that DCP was founded on the need to offer better leadership to Kenyans and address the country’s long-standing problems of poor governance.
