Rigathi Gachagua is out here trying to poach ODM politicians, straight-up telling Edwin Sifuna and Babu Owino they can bail on their party and join his DCP instead. The former deputy president made the pitch after bringing in two new MCAs, and he said Sifuna could even get DCP backing for his senate run in 2027 if things go south for him in ODM.
Gachagua thinks ODM is shooting itself in the foot by cozying up with the government, and he warned they might end up as a minor party stuck with just a handful of seats in Luo Nyanza. He pointed to recent by-election wins for DCP and other opposition parties as proof that the political landscape is shifting, and he made it clear that building up his own party is totally fair game while still working with the broader opposition coalition.
