Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has officially launched his new political party dubbed Democracy For The Citizens Party (DCP).
The party, which adopts the slogan Skiza Wakenya was unveiled on Thursday, May 15, at its headquarters along Musa Gitau Road in Lavington.
DCP will be represented by neon green and white colours — a symbol, Gachagua said, of renewal, transparency, and inclusivity.
"I made a promise to you, that in the month of May I would unveil a new political party whose philosophy resonates with you. As you all know, I'm a truthful and honest man; I keep my promises.
"We finally have a political party that belongs to all of us; where every Kenyan is treated equally," he said.

Positioning DCP as a people-first political formation, Gachagua outlined the party’s core principle; genuine and sustained engagement between leaders and citizens.
He promised that inder the party's leadership, Kenyans will at no point feel abandoned or left out.
"As a party we believe every Kenyan should be listened to by their leaders. This listening, must not just be listening for the sake of it; it must be deliberate, planned, have a purpose and it must be sustainable.
"At no given time in our leadership shall Kenyans be left behind or remain unheard," he added.
The event was attended by other leaders, including Nyandarua Senator John Methu, former Starehe MP Maina Kamanda and former Agriculture CS Mithika Linturi.
Starehe MP Amos Mwago, Kirinyaga Woman Rep Njeri Maina, Embakasi North MP Gakuya Mwangi and Kajiado North MP Onesmus Ngogoyo were also in attendance.
