Political realignments ahead of the 2027 General Election continue to gather momentum following a meeting at the Wamunyoro residence that brought together Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and a delegation of Members of County Assembly from Laikipia and Nakuru counties.
The meeting came after Gachagua announced that a growing number of elected leaders were leaving parties allied to the Kenya Kwanza coalition, including UDA and TSP, to join the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), which he described as an emerging political force.
The delegation comprised MCAs from several wards across Laikipia and Nakuru, signalling the continued political reorganisation taking shape in the Mt Kenya region and neighbouring counties.
Speaking after the meeting, Ol-Moran MCA Hon. George Karuiru Wairimu described the move as “the way to go,” expressing confidence that the new political direction would provide a stronger platform for leaders seeking to advance the interests of their constituents.
According to Karuiru, the political landscape is evolving rapidly, and leaders must align themselves with movements they believe can effectively champion development, unity and responsive leadership.
The Wamunyoro meeting is the latest in a series of engagements that have seen elected leaders consult with Gachagua as political parties intensify preparations for the 2027 elections. Supporters of DCP argue that the party is steadily attracting leaders from across the country as it seeks to expand its grassroots presence.
The developments are expected to further shape the political conversation in the coming months as parties continue to position themselves ahead of the next electoral cycle.
