Former Law Society of Kenya President Nelson Havi has officially joined Rigathi Gachagua's Democratic Change Party (DCP), aiming to contest the Westlands parliamentary seat in 2027. This move strengthens DCP's parliamentary ambitions and Gachagua's political influence in Nairobi County.

• Nelson Havi joined DCP on February 4, 2026, pictured with Rigathi Gachagua in Lavington Nairobi.
• Gachagua stated DCP requires "great legal minds for legislation, representation, and oversight," to which Havi contributes.
• Havi resigned from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party on November 7, 2024, after being a member since 2021.
• He previously lost the Westlands parliamentary seat in 2022 while with UDA.
• Current Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi (ODM) is reportedly eyeing the Bungoma gubernatorial seat, potentially opening the way for Havi.

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, also the ODM Secretary General, has vehemently denied claims of him planning to leave the Orange Democratic Movement, dismissing reports linking him to Rigathi Gachagua's Democracy for the Citizens Party.

• Sifuna stated his intention to remain in ODM, emphasizing that his removal from the Secretary General position can only occur through a delegates’ conference.
• He raised concerns about the funding of recent ODM "Linda Ground" rallies, asserting that these events are not financed through official party channels and alleging parallel funding for activities branded as ODM events.
• Sifuna also questioned the legitimacy of Dr. Oburu Odinga’s election as ODM party leader, arguing for the necessity of the party charting its own political path and fielding a presidential candidate in 2027.

Cleophas Malala, Deputy Leader of the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), claims that former President Uhuru Kenyatta and Rigathi Gachagua are working together behind the scenes, with an official announcement expected soon. This alleged collaboration, according to Malala, aims to protect Kenyans from President William Ruto's administration.

• Malala noted the alleged alliance was linked to changes in the Jubilee Party, where former Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni was allegedly asked to reduce criticism of Gachagua.
• Uhuru Kenyatta's office denied claims on January 29 that he was directing Gachagua to organize a meeting of Mt Kenya leaders, calling such allegations "false and misleading."
• Neither Gachagua nor Kenyatta has publicly confirmed a political collaboration.
