Juja MP George Koimburi during an interview on January 14, 2026. [Gitau Wanyoike, Standard]Simmering tension is threatening to tear apart the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) led by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Juja MP George Koimburi is the latest to bolt out of the party, after Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba broke ranks with Gachagua. Koimburi publicly announced his decision to cut ties with the former DP over what he termed as betrayal and deceit. Koimburi dismissed claims by Gachagua that he had been ‘bought’ by President Ruto’s government.
