Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has reportedly come up with a new plan after realizing that his DCP Party could collapse ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This comes amid reports that some members of the party have started leaving him and shifting their support to President William Ruto. The growing number of defections has raised serious concerns within the party, forcing Gachagua to rethink his political strategy.
According to reports, Gachagua is planning to call for an urgent meeting that will be held in Kilifi County. The main purpose of this meeting will be to address the increasing disunity within the DCP Party.
Sources say key party leaders and loyal members are expected to attend the meeting so that they can openly discuss the challenges affecting the party and find ways to move forward together.
It is also claimed that during the meeting, Gachagua plans to speak directly to party members in an effort to stop them from leaving.
He is expected to urge them to remain patient and loyal as the party prepares for the 2027 elections. Gachagua reportedly wants to rebuild trust among his supporters and assure them that the DCP Party still has a future despite the current challenges. Those close to him say he believes strong unity is the only way to keep the party alive.
However, political analysts have issued warnings, saying time may not be on Gachagua’s side. They argue that if he does not act swiftly and firmly, the DCP Party could soon lose its political relevance.
Analysts point out that President William Ruto has already intensified his search for votes in the Central region. Several leaders, including Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga, have openly declared their support for Ruto.
