Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has stated that the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) is the most popular political party in Narok. This assertion came during a meeting in Boston with Amos Kipeen, who is considering running for the Narok West parliamentary seat in the 2027 General Election. Kipeen informed Gachagua that residents of Narok West Constituency had requested him to contest the upcoming general election under the DCP banner.
The two agreed that community elders would formally communicate the community's decision when they visit Gachagua upon his return to Kenya, adhering to Maa traditions. Gachagua emphasized his commitment to people-centric leadership, stating that the country's future should align with the needs and concerns of ordinary citizens. Kipeen's potential candidacy for the Narok West parliamentary seat could mark DCP's entry into the constituency's 2027 electoral competition.
DCP's victory in the Narok Town Ward MCA by-election on November 27, 2025, with Douglas Twala Masikonde winning 5,997 votes, illustrates the party's growing influence in Narok. In the Emurua Dikirr parliamentary by-election on May 14, 2026, DCP candidate Vincent Kibet Rotich finished second with 10,760 votes, behind UDA candidate David Kipsang Keter.
Despite not securing the parliamentary seat, DCP's strong showing in this race indicates its increasing presence in Narok politics.
