Speaking amid growing speculation that Malala had gone quiet and was planning to cross over to President William Ruto’s camp, Gachagua clarified that the former senator has been in Kakamega County overseeing the Malala Super Cup, a grassroots sports initiative that has kept him away from day to day politics.
He assured supporters that Malala would soon be fully involved in DCP party affairs, describing his absence as temporary and strategic rather than political withdrawal.
Gachagua used the opportunity to issue a stern warning to individuals he termed as moles allegedly planted by President Ruto’s allies to destabilize the DCP party from within.
He claimed DCP had embarked on an internal cleanup to safeguard its identity, discipline, and political direction ahead of future contests.
In a pointed attack, the former deputy president lectured Juja Member of Parliament George Koimburi, accusing him of betraying the party’s principles.
Gachagua alleged that Koimburi had demanded a direct nomination ticket from DCP, a move he said went against the party’s commitment to competitive and transparent internal processes.
According to Gachagua, Koimburi’s actions were a clear sign of divided loyalty and political opportunism.
He emphasized that DCP would not tolerate leaders seeking shortcuts or acting as proxies for rival political camps.
Gachagua maintained that the party is focused on building a disciplined, grassroots-driven movement and will only retain leaders who are committed to its vision.
The remarks come at a time when DCP is seeking to consolidate its base amid intense political realignments, with defections and counter claims continuing to shape Kenya’s evolving opposition landscape.
