Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed reports suggesting that he has abandoned his presidential ambitions or struck a secret deal with opposition leaders to secure half of government appointments should they win power in 2027.
Speaking in Nairobi during a meeting with the DCP Youth League, Gachagua termed the reports as “state-sponsored propaganda” meant to weaken his growing political influence.
He accused President William Ruto’s administration of using sections of the media to spread falsehoods aimed at confusing his supporters and creating divisions within the opposition alliance.
“Let me confirm for the avoidance of doubt — we shall have a single presidential candidate. I have seen a newspaper headline claiming I will not run, that I have stepped aside to demand a share of the next government. Who told them that? I am a frontrunner in this race,” he said firmly.
According to Gachagua, those behind the reports were part of a wider political scheme engineered by state operatives to portray him as a weak player who had bowed out of the race. TO READ MORE, TAP HERE.
