Rigathi Gachagua has a Reason to Smile After Waking Up to This Good News Ahead of 2027 General Polls

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua received a timely boost on January 16, 2026, that could solidify his standing as the leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party. Manyatta MP Gitonga Mukunji, a staunch ally, publicly dismissed swirling reports suggesting he was severing ties with Gachagua's faction or abandoning the DCP altogether.

This declaration comes amid rumors of internal "hemorrhage" within the party, providing Gachagua with much-needed reassurance as the 2027 general elections loom.Mukunji, speaking during an NTV Weekend Edition interview, emphasized his unwavering loyalty, stating that his decisions are guided by the voice of the people "Mwananchi Ndio Sauti."

He refuted claims of exploring alternative political paths, attributing such narratives to misinformation aimed at destabilizing the DCP. This stance echoes sentiments from DCP Secretary General Hezon Obaga, who labeled reports of mass defections as "state propaganda" designed to undermine the party's momentum
