The Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) has chosen Secretary-General John Methu to spearhead a meet-and-greet session with traders and the business community in Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) on Wednesday, September 2, 2026. The event, announced on the party’s social media on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, will also feature DCP Deputy Party Leader Cleophas Malala, alongside several DCP-aligned Members of Parliament from Nairobi, namely Embakasi North MP James Gakuya, Embakasi West MP Mark Mwenje, Starehe MP Amos Mwago, and Kamukunji MP Hassan Yusuf.
The gathering aims to address the ongoing unrest among traders due to the alleged increase in taxes on imported goods, which has led to arrests and the deployment of tear gas by police. Following the departure of DCP leader William Gachagua for a month-long trip to the United States, Methu and Malala have been leading party activities to strengthen grassroots support.
This engagement is part of the DCP's strategy to gain a stronger foothold in Nairobi, a traditionally ODM stronghold, ahead of the 2027 general election.
