Gachagua Warns Supporters Against Joining Ndindi Nyoro and Matiang’i’s Parties

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has cautioned his supporters against joining political parties associated with Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro and former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, insisting that the Democracy for the Citizens Party is the political vehicle they should support.

Speaking during a political rally in Rongai, Gachagua dismissed the alternative political parties as ineffective, using strong language to urge his followers to remain loyal to DCP as political realignments ahead of the 2027 General Election continue to attract attention.

Gachagua told his supporters not to be tempted to join the political formations associated with Nyoro and Matiang’i, describing them as “wheelbarrows” while presenting DCP as the party they should identify with.

His remarks appeared aimed at strengthening DCP’s position among opposition supporters at a time when several political leaders are positioning themselves for the next general election.

Nyoro, the Kiharu MP, has attracted attention through his political engagements and economic commentary, while Matiang’i has emerged as a potential contender in the wider opposition debate surrounding the 2027 presidential race.

Gachagua’s comments signal the growing competition among political leaders seeking to build strong political bases and consolidate support ahead of the elections.

The former Deputy President has been working to establish DCP as a major political force, particularly among voters who want an alternative to President William Ruto’s administration.

By urging his followers to avoid rival parties, Gachagua is seeking to maintain political loyalty and prevent divisions within his support base as different leaders pursue their ambitions.

The remarks also highlight the challenges facing opposition leaders as they attempt to coordinate their political strategies ahead of 2027.

With several figures seeking influence within the opposition, questions remain over whether they will eventually unite behind a common candidate or pursue separate political paths.

Gachagua’s declaration in Rongai underscores his determination to position DCP at the centre of his political strategy as the country moves closer to another election cycle.
