  "summary": "Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has rejected calls for zoning within the United Opposition, maintaining that all parties should be free to field candidates wherever they enjoy support. Speaking during a ceremony where he received a new member, Gachagua stated that his party would compete fairly across the country, emphasizing that DCP has established a national support base and would seek candidates in different parts of Kenya. This stance could complicate efforts to establish exclusive political strongholds for individual parties within the opposition alliance, particularly in areas where multiple parties believe they have significant support.",
