He insisted that the two leaders had held several discussions, which ended with an agreement on the sharing of seats.

He described DCP as the “new political home” for Nairobi residents and suggested that the party’s presence in the capital would be stronger than ever in 2027.
Gachagua went further and revealed that the agreement also covers parliamentary seats. Out of Nairobi’s 17 constituencies, he claimed that Kalonzo has agreed to let DCP take 16 of them. Only one seat will be left for the Wiper Party.
He added that a similar arrangement has been reached regarding the county assembly. Nairobi has 85 wards, and Gachagua said DCP will be allocated 75, leaving the rest to Wiper and their other partners.
The former DP explained that the agreement was reached after Kalonzo recognised DCP’s growing influence in Nairobi.

He said the partnership would prevent unnecessary political fights in the city and help opposition parties consolidate their support base ahead of the 2027 polls.
Gachagua also took time to address the recently concluded by-elections held on Thursday, November 27.

He dismissed claims circulating on social media and in political commentary suggesting that his party had suffered losses.
According to him, analysts were only focusing on areas where DCP did not field candidates, creating the impression that the party was defeated. To clarify, Gachagua listed the wards where DCP actively participated.

“We had our candidates in Kariobangi North, Narok Town, and Kisa East—and we won. In Purko and Magarini, we lost by narrow margins, but that is still part of the learning process,” he said.
He insisted that the Mbeere North race, where many people believed he had backed a losing candidate, had nothing to do with DCP.

He argued that state interference played a role in the outcome, and that the narrative around the election was meant to weaken his party’s image.
Despite the controversies, Gachagua expressed pride in what DCP has achieved within a short time. He reminded the congregation that the party is only seven months old, yet it has already secured three seats in the five by-elections it participated in.

He urged political analysts to focus on the party’s progress rather than single out isolated contests.
Gachagua also used the moment to rally his supporters, saying the new deal with Kalonzo is only the beginning. He told them that Nairobi politics would look very different in 2027, with DCP expected to play a central role.

According to him, the agreement with Kalonzo will help streamline nominations, prevent internal rivalry, and strengthen their chances of defeating established political giants in the capital.
