DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua has pledged to fix what he described as Kenya's persistent challenges, promising to address issues affecting the country if elected.
Speaking during an Interdenominational Fellowship in Portland, Oregon, in the United States, Gachagua said his administration would also have a clear plan for Kenyans living in the diaspora.
“I have a good plan for the diaspora and the people of Kenya. Kenya will be sorted,” he said.
Gachagua also urged his supporters not to worry about the security of their votes in the 2027 General Election, saying the opposition would protect its votes.
He claimed that Kenyans would turn up as early as 3 am on August 10, 2027 to vote out the current administration and that the election outcome would be clear by midday.
Gachagua accused President William Ruto's administration of using the police against opposition leaders and religious institutions, alleging that the government had desecrated the altar.
He cited the attack at ACK Wetima Church in Othaya, which he condemned, and called on the government to allow police officers implicated in attacks on opposition leaders to face prosecution.
The former Deputy President said he would protect freedom of worship and ensure that churches are not targeted for political reasons.
Gachagua also welcomed the turnout at the Linda Mwananchi movement's weekend rally, saying the event demonstrated growing support for the opposition.
He cited the backing of Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, claiming the opposition had effectively secured Nairobi.
Gachagua projected that the opposition could secure 2.5 million votes in Nairobi and claimed that UDA and ODM would not win a single seat in the capital.
He said Kenya was still facing serious challenges, citing problems with the Social Health Authority (SHA) and lack of government capitation.
“We are struggling,” he said, promising that if given five years in office, his administration would address the outstanding issues facing the country.
His remarks come as political formations opposed to the Kenya Kwanza administration intensify efforts to consolidate support ahead of the 2027 General Election.
