Three political parties from the Mt. Kenya region have pushed back against calls to fold into the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) led by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Munya pointed out that Gachagua lacks the mandate to speak for all political leaders and parties across the Mt. “Gachagua has not been appointed or mandated to speak on behalf of all the people or all parties in the Mt Kenya region,” Munya stated. “We call upon Honourable Gachagua to desist from divisive pronouncements and instead embrace structured dialogue, consultation, and respectful engagement among all like-minded political parties,” he said.
