Former Laikipia Woman Representative Cate Waruguru has come out strongly to dispel reports suggesting that she has ditched the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), reaffirming her loyalty to party leader and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
Through her social media platforms on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, Waruguru dismissed the claims as false and misleading, insisting that she remains firmly rooted in the DCP Party. Her statement comes at a time when the party has faced heightened scrutiny following the exit of several leaders allied to Gachagua, some of whom have since returned to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
To underline her position, the outspoken politician shared a photo of herself alongside Gachagua, accompanied by a strongly worded message aimed at putting speculation to rest. She emphasized that her political values and vision remain aligned with those of the DCP leadership and that she has not wavered in her support.
Waruguru described the rumours as part of a broader attempt to sow confusion and weaken the party at a critical time, noting that political realignments often attract misinformation. She maintained that despite the reported defections, DCP remains intact and focused on its agenda.
Her declaration adds to ongoing political debate surrounding the stability of the DCP Party and Gachagua’s leadership as opposition politics continue to evolve ahead of the 2027 general elections.
