DCP Sets Strict Joining Conditions for UDA Defectors
DCP bars UDA campaigners from joining party
The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) has introduced strict conditions for politicians defecting from rival parties, particularly the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
According to party officials, these measures aim to prepare for competitive primaries ahead of the 2027 General Election. The DCP Secretary-General Designate announced that politicians who campaigned for UDA in the recent Ol Kalou by-election will be banned from joining the party.
The party has also clarified that all candidates, including high-profile aspirants, must face the electorate through competitive nominations. Additionally, lawmakers who voted to impeach party leader Rigathi Gachagua will not receive special treatment and must undergo standard party vetting and nomination procedures.
