"I am delighted to receive Governor Kiarie Badilisha of Nyandarua County and the entire County Assembly into the DCP Party. They have assured me that they will defend their seats on DCP Party tickets, and they shall form part of the aspirants in the party primaries next year," Gachagua said. Badilisha's move comes days after Murang'a governor Irungu Kang'ata also announced his defection to DCP, coming from UDA.
