Speculation has intensified over internal dynamics within the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), following reports that Cleophas Malala has been increasingly absent from key party activities while former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua appears to be communicating through Nyandarua Senator John Methu.
These developments have fueled questions about whether the party is experiencing internal divisions or undergoing a quiet restructuring of its leadership structure. Political observers note that Malala’s reduced visibility in recent engagements may indicate strained relations or a shift in trust and influence within the party hierarchy.
However, no official statement has confirmed a split or removal of any leader. As with many emerging political formations, analysts caution that such changes may reflect evolving communication strategies and power realignments rather than a formal breakdown of the party.
