Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is preparing to embark on a tour of Kimani Ichung’wah's Kikuyu constituency before departing for engagements with Kenyans residing in the United States of America. In a statement posted on his social media accounts on August 25, 2026, the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader announced that he will commence his "Meet the People Tour" on August 26, 2026, at 3:00 PM.
Gachagua's visit to Ichung'wah's constituency comes after a previous attempt to hold a rally in the area was met with hostility, forcing the group to cancel but undeterred, Gachagua proceeded with the tour, confronting stones, bullets, and tear gas. The tour aims to confront those who opposed his candidate in the Ol Kalou by-election and mobilize support against them for his DCP candidate's upcoming campaign.
Gachagua's offensive against his political opponents began with a tour of Kinangop Constituency, targeting MP Kwenya Thuku, followed by Laikipia East to challenge MP Mwangi Kiunjuri, who had supported Samuel Muchina. In Laikipia, he also targeted MP Jane Kagiri, urging voters to reject her. Subsequently, he moved to Nakuru County, addressing MP Susan Kihika and East MP David Gikaria, accusing them of inciting violence during the Ol Kalou campaign. Gichagua vowed to prevent their re-election in 2027.
He has continued this strategy in Embu County, targeting MP Cecily Mbarire, and in Murang'a County, opposing MP Betty Maina. In Kiambaa Constituency, Gachagua has also targeted John Kawanjiku. His final stop before leaving for his overseas trip will be Ichung'wah's constituency.
