Nyandarua Senator John Methu has urged his party, Democracy for Citizens (DCP), to focus their opposition to President William Ruto on party leader Rigathi Gachagua instead of involving retired President Uhuru Kenyatta. Methu made the remarks during a DCP rally in Elburgon, Nakuru County on Saturday, August 15, 2026. He highlighted Gachagua as the stronger political opponent for Ruto, invoking Uhuru Kenyatta to emphasize the point.
Methu also criticized Ruto's recent activities in Eldoret, suggesting the president was feeling pressure from opposition mobilisation. This comes as Gachagua and his DCP allies ramp up grassroots mobilisation ahead of the 2027 General Election, with Methu's comments aiming to contrast Uhuru's past political influence with Gachagua's current efforts to build support against the Ruto administration.
