Nyandarua Governor Kiarie Badilisha, who won his seat on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket, has defected to the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP). Explaining his departure from the ruling party, Badilisha noted that he simply followed the clear directives of his constituents, adding that he will seek re-election on a DCP ticket. Gachagua welcomed the governor alongside the Nyandarua County Assembly into the outfit, offering assurances that DCP will conduct transparent and fair nominations. “The people of Nyandarua County, led by their governor, have brought a message of goodwill from the people of Nyandarua County; they are answering the call for the liberation of Kenya. Between now and then, the people of Nyandarua, help your governor because if he gets the DCP ticket, I will do the rest, but you must do your bit,” Gachagua added.
