By Nancy Marende, July 24, 2025The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) Secretary General, Hezron Obaga, has held a meeting with grassroots leaders from Bungoma County.
According to a statement released by the DCP party on Thursday, July 24, 2025, the meeting took place at the party’s headquarters in Nairobi.
“Today, the Secretary General of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), Hezron Obaga, held a strategic engagement with grassroots leaders from Bungoma County at the party headquarters,” read the statement in part.
The party revealed that the leaders pledged commitment to spearheading the mobilisation and mass registration of new members in the region.
“This marks a significant step as the party continues to popularise its vision and expand its presence across the country,” read the statement.
“The Secretary General lauded the leaders for their dedication and emphasised the importance of grassroots structures in building a strong, people-centred political movement,” read the statement.
US satellite office
This comes a week after former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua officially launched a satellite office for the party in the United States, marking a significant step in his political comeback and outreach to the Kenyan diaspora.
The party views the inauguration of the DCP’s North Pacific Chapter Satellite Office in Seattle as a milestone in the party’s journey to connect with and serve Kenyans in the region.
“The choice of Seattle is strategic, given the significant Kenyan diaspora in the Pacific Northwest, estimated at over 20,000. Sources like the Seattle Global Gateway highlight a “tight-knit Kenyan population” sufficient to sustain cultural festivals and community associations, supporting the party’s choice. This new office will strengthen our efforts, foster greater engagement, and bring our initiatives closer to the people of Seattle and the surrounding areas,” Gachagua posted on his X account.
The office aims to strengthen the party’s initiatives and foster greater engagement with the diaspora.
Further, DCP aims to use the office to bring services closer to Kenyans in Seattle and the surrounding areas, potentially addressing consular and political needs.
The party also stated that the office will enable them to build a stronger, more inclusive future for all Kenyans and lead the country according to the citizens’ views.
