Former Deputy President and Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua announced a political alliance with Kalonzo Musyoka's Wiper Party to dominate Nairobi's political landscape in the 2027 general elections. The alliance aims to secure all top political positions in the capital.

• DCP and Wiper plan to win the Governor, Senate, and Women Representative seats in Nairobi, with DCP targeting 16 out of 17 constituencies and the coalition aiming for 75 out of 85 wards.
• Gachagua claimed that voters for President William Ruto in Nairobi in 2022 were his supporters, not loyalists of UDA.
• He cited DCP's success in recent by-elections, winning 3 out of 5 contested seats where they fielded candidates, despite critics focusing on areas like Mbeere North where they did not compete.

Chaos erupted in Kariobangi on Sunday when rival factions clashed outside a PCEA Church during a visit by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, prompting police to fire teargas to disperse the crowd.

• No injuries were reported, and authorities quickly contained the situation.
• The incident highlights rising political tensions in Nairobi ahead of the 2027 general elections.
• Police urged the public to remain calm and confirmed that investigations are ongoing to identify instigators.
