The Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), led by Secretary General Cleophas Malala, has initiated a petition to the United Nations to prevent President William Ruto from addressing the upcoming UN General Assembly (UNGA) on human rights issues. The party alleges President Ruto's administration is responsible for judicial killings and unlawful detentions.

• The DCP plans to collect over 10 million signatures from Kenyans to support their petition against President Ruto.
• The 80th session of the UNGA is scheduled to open on Tuesday, September 9, with the General Debate running from September 23 to September 27.
• President Ruto's expected attendance marks his first trip to the US under President Donald Trump's administration, following recent discussions about Kenya's designation as a Major Non-NATO Ally.
