Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) has announced that its leader Rigathi Gachagua will return to Kenya from the United States on Thursday, August 21, 2025, at noon.

This is after Gachagua declared the premature conclusion of his official visit to the United States, mentioning the necessity to return to Kenya to get ready for the forthcoming by-elections in different regions of the country.

In a statement issued on Monday, DCP deputy party leader Senator Cleophas Malalah said the party had mobilized supporters to gather at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) from 8am to welcome the DCP party leader.

“We call on the people of Kenya to show up at JKIA at 8am to receive our leader, Rigathi Gachagua. We shall have a mother of all peaceful processions from JKIA to the CBD and later address a public rally at the hallowed Kamukunji grounds,” Malalah stated.

The party confirmed that security agencies had been notified of the plans, insisting that police must facilitate the processions and not attempt to disperse them.

“The police are notified to provide security and they should not dare to demonstrate against the people of Kenya,” Malalah said.

DCP further alleged that President William Ruto’s administration was plotting to arrest the DCP party leader upon arrival.

Malalah claimed that there were plans to either detain him at JKIA or divert his plane to Kisumu or Mombasa to facilitate his arrest.

“We want to be very particular and candid: take notice, any attempt to arrest Rigathi Gachagua once he lands in the country will be met by our supporters across the country,” Malalah warned.

The DCP party leader, who has been in the United States for a about two , is expected to make his first public address at Kamukunji grounds upon his return.

Earlier in July, the Former Deputy President started his US tour, visiting multiple cities to engage with Kenyan diaspora groups and talk about investment opportunities, remittance systems, and political developments in Kenya.

He also conducted private meetings with church leaders, local officials and business communities to explore ways to strengthen grassroots relations between Kenya and the US.

The upcoming by-elections, expected in multiple counties, follow nullifications of election results and vacancies created by resignations or the deaths of sitting leaders.
