Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has refuted allegations that he plans to weaken or dismantle other political parties in the Mt Kenya region. Addressing a delegation from Mathioya and Kangema at his Wamunyoro residence in Nyeri, Gachagua clarified that he welcomes political pluralism in the region and holds no objection to multiple parties operating in Mt Kenya. The trio had on Tuesday publicly accused Gachagua of trying to crush other political outfits in Mt Kenya to consolidate his own control. He noted that his primary focus remains on strengthening DCP’s national presence and that other party leaders should do the same for their respective outfits.
