National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung’wah has ruled out the possibility of joining the Democratic for Citizens Party (DCP).
Speaking during an interview on Wednesday, August 12, Ichung’wah described DCP as a small party.
The Kikuyu MP also pointed out that his decisions are based on conviction rather than political convenience.
“I can never, ever, over my dead body, join that small party (DCP). I take decisions based on conviction and not political convenience,” he stated.
Ichung’wah went on to say he is firmly convinced that the broad-based government was the best vehicle to move the country forward.

“I have a very strong conviction that the broad-based government is what will move this country forward,” Ichung’wah added.
At the same time, Ichung’wah said they are not worried about the defections from UDA to Rigathi Gachagua’s DCP party.
“There is no reason for anybody to get worried. It is that transfer season just like in football. Irungu Kanga’ta in seven days moved about three political formations; I don’t know where he will end up in one year. Badilisha was always on that side, and therefore it is no surprise,” Ichung’wah stated.
The Kikuyu MP expressed confidence that the broad-based government will emerge victorious in 2027.
“We have a very solid formation in the broad-based government and are very confident that we will win the 2027 General Election,” he added.
This comes after Gatundu South MP Gabriel Kagombe confirmed his exit from the UDA Party.
Speaking on Wednesday, August 12, 2026, Kagombe said his decision to leave the ruling party was informed by the concerns and wishes of Gatundu South residents.
Kagombe claimed that his constituents expressed dissatisfaction with the current government.
“I am a representative of the people of Gatundu South, and they have said, ‘Listen, we don't want that person, we don't want this government.’
“I asked myself, ' Why would I lose a seat or fail to represent what the people are saying?” Kagombe posed.
