Candidate announcement
NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 29 – Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed claims that his Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) has endorsed Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna for the opposition’s presidential ticket in the 2027 General Election, insisting that recent remarks by deputy party leader Cleophas Malala do not represent the party’s official position.
Gachagua said Malala was entitled to express his political preferences but lacked the authority to announce the party’s position on who should lead the opposition into the next election.
He clarified that only the party leader or secretary-general could communicate DCP’s official position, distancing the party from Malala’s apparent support for Sifuna as a potential presidential candidate.
