Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua embarked on an extended 50-day tour of the United States on August 26, 2026, as part of his planned political engagements. His Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) released an itinerary that outlines Gachagua's route across several US states. The initial 10 days of the trip, from August 26 to September 4, are dedicated to rest, re-energising, and spending quality time with his wife, Pastor Dorcas Rigathi.
Gachagua explained to journalists that this break would allow him to focus on his family after a demanding period of political activity. The DCP leader then plans to visit Spokane, Washington, starting September 4, followed by Portland, Oregon, from September 10 to September 16. Kansas is scheduled for engagements between September 16 and September 24, Dallas, Texas from September 24 and October 1, and Boston, Massachusetts from October 1 to October 9.
The overall itinerary spans approximately 50 days, with Gachagua leveraging the US tour to interact with Kenyan diaspora communities and advance his party's political agenda ahead of the 2027 general election.
