Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) Leader Rigathi Gachagua hosted Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna in Wamunyoro after quietly returning from his trip to the United States.

In photos shared on Tuesday, October 20, Gachagua and Pastor Dorcas Rigathi welcomed Sifuna and Linda Mwananchi Interim Head of Communication, Pauline Njoroge, at their home.

Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya, Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi and Embakasi East Member of Parliament (MP) Babu Owino accompanied the Linda Mwananchi Movement leader to the ex-Deputy President's home.

"Welcome to Wamunyoro residence, my cousins from Linda Mwananchi. When we come together, great things Must happen," Gachagua wrote.

Former Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Faith Odhiambo and Bumula Member of Parliament Jack Wamboka were also present for the meeting.

Gachagua was accompanied by his Deputy Party Leader Cleophas Malala and DCP Secretary General-designate, Senator John Methu.

The meeting was Gachagua's first engagement in Wamunyoro in nearly two months. However, during his trip to America, Gachagua closely followed the politics in Kenya and in Linda Mwananchi.

During his tour, he confirmed that he had called both Sifuna and Babu Owino over the infighting in Linda Mwananchi after their respective supporters turned on one another.

Gachagua claimed that he warned Sifuna and Babu that they are falling into a trap set by the National Intelligence Service (NIS).

He alleged that the push and pull between their supporters was part of an elaborate plan by the NIS to divide Linda Mwananchi because the outfit had caused panic in government.

Gachagua confirmed that he asked Nyandarua Senator and DCP Secretary General designate John Methu to join them in their talks so that they could quickly call their supporters to order.

He reckoned that the Linda Mwananchi rally at the Jacaranda Grounds in Nairobi had scared President Ruto, and claimed that the President aimed to divide the faction along tribal lines.
