Following the victory of Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) in the 2026 Ol Kalou by-election, Mt Kenya elected leaders defecting from President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance face strict party entry rules from DCP, which is led by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and is preparing for the 2027 elections.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face tighter barriers joining new political parties in Mt Kenya where alliances are made on personal loyalties and past campaign actions; realign carefully as the DCP is vetting defectors closely.
