PNU, Muturi's DP Party Reject Gachagua's DCP Merger Proposal
The Party of National Unity (PNU), Democratic Party (DP) and Democratic Empowerment Party (DEP) have dismissed former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's proposal to dissolve their parties and join the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), exposing what some say are fresh cracks in efforts to unite Mt Kenya under a single political outfit ahead of the 2027 General Election.
PNU leader Peter Munya, DP leader Justin Muturi and DEP leader Lenny Kivuti instead called on Gachagua to abandon what they termed divisive pronouncements and pursue dialogue, insisting that political alliances should be built through consensus rather than directives.
Munya maintained that Gachagua had no mandate to speak on behalf of all leaders or political parties in the region, stating, "Gachagua has not been appointed or mandated to speak on behalf of all the people or all parties in the Mt Kenya region." #Elections2027
