The Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) will return to Witima ACK Church in Othaya, months after its leader, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, was attacked during a church service there. The party plans to stage a political tour of the region, starting with a visit to Witima ACK Church on Sunday, September 13, 2026. The tour will then proceed to Othaya Town at 2:00pm and Kiria-ini Town at 4pm.
DCP Secretary General John Methu will lead the delegation, aiming to boost the party's standing in the area. This return to Witima ACK Church follows a violent incident on January 25, 2026, in which Gachagua and worshippers were targeted by armed men using tear gas, gunfire, and other tactics. Gachagua claimed the attack was a premeditated assassination attempt and a government-sanctioned assault, describing it as an attempt to silence him and his political ambitions.
