BREAKING NEWS: Famous UDA Politician Ditches UDA, Joins This Party

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has scored a major political victory after welcoming Nakuru County Senator Tabitha Keroche to the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP).

Keroche’s decision to abandon President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and join Gachagua’s political camp has sparked fresh interest in the country’s political scene as leaders prepare for the 2027 General Election.

The senator’s move is seen as a significant boost for Gachagua, who has been working hard to expand DCP’s influence beyond his traditional Mount Kenya political backyard.

Welcoming Keroche, Gachagua expressed confidence in building a stronger political movement capable of challenging the current administration. Her entry into the party could also help DCP gain more ground in Nakuru County, a region that plays an important role in determining Kenya’s political direction.

Keroche’s departure from UDA is also likely to raise questions about Ruto’s political influence, especially as several leaders begin reviewing their political positions ahead of the next election.

For Gachagua, attracting an elected senator from a key county sends a strong message that his party is attracting attention from influential political figures.

The latest development comes at a time when political realignments are gaining momentum across the country.

With the 2027 elections drawing closer, Gachagua will be hoping to attract more leaders to his camp as he seeks to build a formidable political force against his former boss.
