Rigathi Gachagua, Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader, asserts that President William Ruto will not be able to manipulate the upcoming 2027 General Election, citing increased voter vigilance inspired by the Ol Kalou by-election.

• Gachagua believes Kenyans are now aware that "voting is not enough; you vote and protect the vote," referencing the Ol Kalou by-election as a "template."
• Key figures involved include Rigathi Gachagua and President William Ruto.
• Gachagua also questioned the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC)'s impartiality, citing alleged voter suppression, intimidation, and bribery in the Ol Kalou and Mbeere North by-elections.
