Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, now leading the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), has outlined an ambitious 100-day roadmap for a potential opposition-led government. Speaking during engagements in the United States with members of the Kenyan diaspora, Gachagua emphasized that his platform prioritizes systemic governance overhauls and institutional restoration over massive financial outlays.
The cornerstone of the plan rests on political goodwill to restore public trust, dismantling state capture, and delivering immediate accountability.
Launching formal inquiries into the treatment and deaths of Gen Z protesters to ensure legal accountability for victims and affected families.
Expediting anti-graft measures, boosting protection for whistleblowers, and canceling illegally issued land title deeds.
Accelerating targeted social interventions, such as establishing dedicated girls’ boarding schools in regions struggling with high rates of early marriage and Female Genital Mutilation (FGM).
Rebalancing political will across law enforcement agencies and judicial oversight bodies to eliminate political interference.
“Our priority in the first 100 days is not about promising unfeasible budgets, but mobilizing the political goodwill required to clean up state capture and rebuild public trust.”
The announcement comes as Gachagua continues efforts to forge a united opposition coalition alongside key political leaders—including Wiper’s Kalonzo Musyoka and DAP-K’s Eugene Wamalwa—to present a single presidential contender in the 2027 General Election.
Gachagua reaffirmed that he is willing to back whichever candidate yields the highest chance of victory, prioritizing coalitional strength and electoral reform over individual political ambitions.
