Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has fired Hezron Obaga as Secretary General of his Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP).

🇰🇪 Breaking It Down

Gachagua made the declaration on Monday, May 25, during a press conference at his party headquarters in Nairobi.

Effectively, the DCP boss appointed Nyandarua Senator John Methu to the position in an acting capacity.

"The media must know who to contact. Senator John Methu is a DCP party member, and he will start acting as the Secretary General designate and the spokesperson of DCP on all matters from today," Gachagua announced.

"In due course, his name will be forwarded to the register of political parties so that he is registered as the duly appointed secretary general of DCP," he added.

According to Gachagua, the decision followed a meeting of the party's National Executive Committee (NEC), which resolved to appoint Methu.

Gachagua, however, did not lay bare the reasons why Obaga, a founding member of the party, was removed from his position as the party's spokesperson.

Obaga became DCP Secretary General in May 2025 when the party was formed and has served for over a year before his removal.
