Gachagua, who announced the party’s name on May 15,
2025, said the DCP will hold a national jamboree next month to mark its official
national launch.
The event will also mark the start of a massive
grassroots campaign to register members across the country and his countrywide tours to popularise the party ahead of the 2027
general elections.
“This is not just a political party, but an ideology
and philosophy for every Kenyan—regardless of faith, creed, age, tribe, or
colour,” Gachagua said.
“The National Executive Council has spent the last two
years engaging with the people of the Republic of Kenya—travelling to every
corner of the country, visiting villages, and listening to the people—to build
one of the most formidable political movements since independence.”
“It is from this engagement that we shall craft our
manifesto based on the needs of Kenyans.”
On May 15, 2025, Gachagua also unveiled the DCP
headquarters in Lavington, Nairobi, and named interim party officials,
including Cleophas Malala as Deputy Party Leader.
During the unveiling, prominent political figures were
notably absent, amid reports that they had agreed to let Gachagua launch the
party and handle internal matters first.
They are expected to
join him at the national launch on June 4, where he will showcase his political
strength alongside party delegates from across the country.
“We shall hold the national launch of the party at a
venue to be confirmed in Nairobi on June 4, 2025,” Gachagua announced.
"We have received thousands of applications from
aspirants across the country seeking to contest for various positions—including
governors, senators, MPs, and MCAs.”
Speaking at the party’s headquarters in Lavington on
Thursday, Gachagua also revealed that he has spent the past six months at home
in consultations to shape the party’s direction.
He noted that DCP was founded on the need to offer
better leadership to Kenyans and address the country’s long-standing problems
of poor governance.
