Gachagua attends Karatina church service as Mt Kenya politics takes shape
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua attended a church service at Pentecostal Evangelistic Fellowship of Africa (PEFA) All Nations Church in Karatina, Nyeri County on Sunday, August 23, 2026, as political activity in the Mt Kenya region intensifies ahead of the 2027 General Election. Reverend Dorcas Rigathi and key allies accompanied Gachagua for the service.
This comes as the Democratic Party for Citizens (DCP) continues to expand its grassroots activities in the region, with Gachagua scheduled to undertake a meet-the-people tour of neighbouring Kirinyaga County. The church appearance coincides with Gachagua's growing network in the region, with former Kirinyaga Woman Representative Purity Ngirici aligning herself with DCP after leaving the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
