Gachagua Reveals What Will Happen to Money MCAs Previously Gave UDA

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has delivered another strong political message to President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance, declaring that financial contributions previously made to the ruling party by Nyeri Members of County Assembly will now be directed to his Democracy for the Citizens Party.

Speaking during a political engagement in Nyeri, Gachagua appeared to celebrate the decision by several county legislators to abandon UDA and embrace his newly established political outfit.

The former Deputy President suggested that the political shift would also affect the financial support that the MCAs had previously been extending to Ruto’s party.

“From today, the money these MCAs used to contribute to UDA will now be coming to DCP,” Gachagua declared.

His remarks highlighted the growing political significance of the Nyeri MCAs’ reported decision to join DCP, marking another setback for UDA’s efforts to maintain its influence in the Mount Kenya region.

Gachagua has been working to strengthen DCP’s grassroots structures as he positions the party as a major political alternative ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The former Deputy President has repeatedly urged Mount Kenya leaders and residents to rally behind his political movement, arguing that the region needs a political platform that will advance its interests.

The latest development could give DCP an important boost, particularly as elected leaders play a significant role in grassroots mobilisation, political organisation and fundraising.

Nyeri is among the counties considered politically influential in the Mount Kenya region, making the reported movement of MCAs from UDA to DCP particularly significant.

Gachagua’s statement also sends a direct political message to Ruto, suggesting that the competition between the two camps is extending beyond public support to party organisation and financial resources.

With the 2027 elections approaching, the battle for political influence in Mount Kenya is expected to intensify as competing parties seek to attract elected leaders and strengthen their grassroots networks.

The latest remarks demonstrate Gachagua’s confidence in DCP’s growing influence, although the party’s ability to translate these political developments into electoral success will ultimately be determined by voters.
