  "account": "John Methu, Secretary-General of the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), will spearhead the party's \"Meet the People\" events in Kiambu County on Sunday, September 27, 2026. The DCP has ramped up its grassroots activities ahead of the 2027 General Election, with Methu emerging as a prominent figure since his appointment in May. The day's activities commence at 10:00am at Apica Gitahurai Kiambo, where Methu and his team will first attend a church service, followed by a public meeting and a rally. The engagements are part of the \"Green Wave\" campaign, as the DCP aims to expand its grassroots presence. Methu, who also serves as the party's spokesperson, has been actively involved in mobilisation efforts in Kiambu and the Mt Kenya region. Earlier this month, the party's leadership in Kiambu rejected the endorsement of Deputy President Kithure Kindiki as the region's political spokesman, emphasizing that political leadership should be determined by the people. Methu's Kiambu engagements will allow the DCP to engage directly with residents as the party strengthens its networks across the region. The final event of the day is scheduled for 4pm at Gitahurai Roundabout, where Methu and other DCP officials will be hosted by the area senator, Karungo Wa Thangwa.",
