Following the extended departure of party leader Rigathi Gachagua for a tour of the United States, Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) has taken charge in Nairobi. On Thursday, August 27, 2026, Senator Methu convened a strategic meeting with DCP-aligned Members of Parliament from the capital city to outline the party’s roadmap.
The meeting, attended by representatives from Embakasi North, Embakasi Central, Embakasi West, Kamukunji, Roysambu, and Starehe constituencies, aimed to strengthen DCP's presence in Nairobi while Gachagua is away. Methu's decision to convene these elected leaders highlights his role as a key figure overseeing DCP operations in the city during the absence of the party chief.
As the 2027 general election approaches, the party's ability to build its support base in Nairobi through the recruitment of sitting MPs is seen as crucial.
