Rigathi Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), has refuted claims that his party is undermining smaller opposition outfits, asserting that all political formations have space to thrive.

• Gachagua dismissed concerns raised by Justin Muturi, Peter Munya, and Lenny Kivuti regarding the DCP's perceived dominance.
• He emphasized that DCP's popularity stems from extensive grassroots mobilization and consistent campaigning across counties such as Laikipia, Nyandarua, Kiambu, Kajiado, and Narok.
• Gachagua invited opposition leaders to collaborate for the 2027 elections, highlighting a past instance where DCP stepped aside for a DP candidate in a by-election as evidence of respect for coalition partners.
