Leaders of the Democracy for the Citizen Party (DCP) in Nyeri County are demanding the immediate release of Mukurwe-ini MP John Kaguchia, who was arrested for alleged incitement remarks.

• DCP leaders described the arrest as unfair and politically motivated.
• Key figures involved include DCP party coordinator in Nyeri, Wanyaga Gathaka, and Nyeri Woman Rep Caroline Wairimu Waititu.
• The party warned of demonstrations if Kaguchia is not released within 24 hours, citing selective application of the law against opposition leaders.

The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party, chaired by former President Uhuru Kenyatta, has initiated a significant restructuring and is reaching out to potential new members, including those associated with Rigathi Gachagua and Edwin Sifuna, with the aim of uniting opposition parties for the August 10, 2027 election.

• Azimio is rebranding and seeking to consolidate opposition parties under one umbrella to present a united front against President William Ruto.
• New council members have been admitted, including Fred Matiang’i, Peter Munya, and Lenny Kivuti, with the readmission of the Democratic Action Party of Kenya.
• The coalition is actively engaging with leaders like Rigathi Gachagua and David Maraga, and plans for a new coalition name that accommodates all partners.
