The Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), led by Rigathi Gachagua, has withdrawn from three upcoming by-elections to support allied opposition parties. This decision, announced on Wednesday, September 10, aims to foster opposition unity ahead of the 2027 General Elections.

• DCP will support the Democratic Party (DP) in the Mbeere North Constituency by-election, Wiper in Muumbuni Ward, and DAP-K in Kabuchai/Chwele Ward.
• Party leader Rigathi Gachagua emphasized this move as a commitment to the "bigger picture" of unity, despite his party planning to field candidates in other elective positions.
• The National Executive Council (NEC) also established an Electoral Secretariat and enhanced the National Elections Board (NEB) and Internal Disputes Resolution Committee (IDRC).
