BOSTON, U.S. – Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has intensified his political comeback efforts with the launch of a second satellite office for his new party, Democracy for the Citizens (DCP), in the United States.
Speaking in Boston on Sunday, Gachagua said the opening marks a critical milestone in his party’s bid to connect with Kenyans in the diaspora, promising that no citizen will be left behind as the 2027 general elections draw closer.
“The DCP Party, founded on the philosophy of listening to mwananchi, remains firm on this resolve,” he posted on X. “As a party, we shall move to every village and every part of the world where Kenyans are and listen to them.”

The Boston office becomes the second U.S. outpost for the DCP, coming just a week after Gachagua launched the party’s first satellite branch in Seattle, Washington.
He described the initiative as part of a broader strategy to amplify the voices of Kenyans abroad, who he said have long been excluded from national discourse.
“For far too long, Kenyans have been unheard, especially now; it is at its highest low,” Gachagua said. “This new office will strengthen our efforts, foster greater engagement, and bring our initiatives closer to the people of Boston and the surrounding areas.”
Gachagua has been on a two-month U.S. tour since July 9 — his first major foreign trip since his dramatic ouster from the Deputy President’s office in October 2024.
During the tour, he has sought to rebrand himself as a grassroots leader focused on public participation and inclusion, in contrast to what he describes as an increasingly elitist and detached government back home.
He reiterated that under a DCP government, diaspora voices would not be treated as afterthoughts.
“No Kenyan will be left behind in our leadership,” he declared.
The Boston launch drew a sizable crowd of Kenyan expatriates, many of whom expressed optimism about having a political party actively engaging them beyond national borders.
