Rigathi Gachagua, the former Deputy President, has returned to Kajiado County as the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) strengthens its grassroots presence in preparation for the 2027 General Elections. On Wednesday, August 12, 2026, Gachagua arrived at Kipeto in Keekonyokie Ward, Kajiado West, accompanied by his wife, Rev Dorcas Rigathi, where he joined locals to honor the educational accomplishments of Ann Nashipae.
Nashipae is among DCP candidates vying for the Kajiado County Woman Representative seat, providing a political motive for Gachagua's visit as the party aims to broaden its support beyond its traditional Mount Kenya base. Gachagua stated, "Kajiado County is truly home. Accompanied by my spouse, Rev. Dorcas Rigathi, I have arrived at Kipeto in Keekonyokie Ward, Kajiado West, to celebrate the educational achievement of Ann Nashipae, one of the DCP Party aspiring candidates for Woman Representative in Kajiado County."
In recent weeks, Gachagua has intensified his grassroots activities under the DCP, traveling across various regions of the country. This return to Kajiado coincides with heightened political activity as parties and candidates position themselves ahead of the 2027 elections. The visit to Kajiado West also offers DCP leadership the chance to connect with local candidates and residents as they establish structures and identify candidates for different elected positions.
