Democratic Party of Kenya leader Justin Muturi has challenged Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to have UDA MPs allied to him resign and seek fresh mandates if he truly believes in political realignment.

• Muturi, alongside Peter Munya of PNU and Lenny Kivuti of DEP, rejected Gachagua's call for their parties to dissolve and join the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP).
• The leaders stated that democracy is strengthened through the ballot, not negotiated defections.
• They asserted that each party's future is determined by its lawful organs, not coercion.
