Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed claims that his party is weakening smaller opposition outfits, insisting every political formation has room to compete and grow. “I saw my brothers there yesterday, Justin Muturi, Peter Munya and this Lenny Kivuti crying. I want many parties,” Gachagua stated. Former Public Service Cabinet Secretary Justin Muturi addressing members of the press on April 2, 2025. While welcoming cooperation, Gachagua clarified that competition would only arise when selecting a single presidential candidate, insisting other elective positions would remain open to different political parties.
