Dressed in a crisp white sports outfit, Gachagua was joined fellow leaders—Senators Joe Nyutu, John Methu, Karungo Thang’wa, and MPs Jane Kihara and George Koimburi—as they jogged side by side with residents.
The atmosphere was electric, with cheers echoing across the grounds, capturing the camaraderie between citizens and their leaders.
Rigathi Gachagua’s participation highlighted his growing efforts to champion fitness and grassroots engagement through community sports.
However, even as he basked in public support, controversy brewed elsewhere.
The sign, which had prominently displayed images of Gachagua and DCP Secretary-General Irungu Nyakera, bore the bold caption: “Hongera Riggy G on your party launch.”
Nyakera reacted sharply, posting online, “You can destroy a billboard, but you can’t silence a movement.” He also questioned the intent behind its removal, hinting at political intimidation.
Launched on May 15, DCP carries the motto *Skiza Wakenya (Listen to Kenyans), symbolised by a logo of a cupped ear.
The party’s colours—neon green, brown, and white—represent vitality, resilience, and transparency. Gachagua leads the party, flanked by Cleophas Malala as interim deputy and Mithika Linturi as National Organising Secretary.
