Gachagua Sets Kasarani Stadium as Venue for DCP Party Official Launch
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has confirmed Kasarani Stadium Gymnasium as the venue for the official launch of his Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), scheduled for Tuesday, June 3, 2025.
The announcement comes through a formal booking letter submitted by the party’s interim Secretary General Hezron Obaga, indicating the event will accommodate approximately 5,000 attendees including party members, supporters, invited guests, and media representatives.
“We plan to use the facility for speeches, performances, and interactive sessions aimed at unveiling our vision, manifesto, and leadership to the Kenyan public,” the booking correspondence reveals.
The June launch represents the official debut of Gachagua’s political movement, following what many considered a preliminary unveiling on May 15, 2025, where the former Deputy President revealed the party’s name and interim leadership structure after months of behind-the-scenes preparations.
During that earlier event, Gachagua announced that the party’s registration documents had been submitted to the Registrar of Political Parties for official ratification. The interim leadership team assembled includes notable political figures from across Kenya’s regions, with former UDA Secretary General Cleophas Malala taking the deputy party leader position.
The leadership roster spans multiple counties, featuring former Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi as National Organising Secretary, former Laikipia Woman Representative Catherine Waruguru as National Women Leader, and David Mingati from Kajiado as National Chairperson.
Key appointments across the party structure include representatives from Kiambu, Kisumu, Kisii, Narok, Machakos, Embu, Migori, Uasin Gishu, and other counties, reflecting Gachagua’s strategy to build a nationally representative political organization.
The Kasarani venue choice signals the party’s ambition to make a significant statement in Kenya’s political landscape, with the gymnasium’s capacity aligning with DCP’s expectations for substantial public interest in their formal political debut.
The June 3 launch will serve as the platform for presenting the party’s comprehensive manifesto and policy positions to the Kenyan electorate, marking Gachagua’s transition from his previous role in government to opposition politics.
