Last month, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua cut short his trip to the United States to focus on preparations for by-elections scheduled for November.
“I had a very successful and fulfilling visit to the United States with serious engagements with Kenyans in the diaspora. I regret being unable to visit the scheduled remaining states, as I need to return home to join our party, DCP, in preparing for the upcoming by-elections across the country. I apologise to the organisers and Kenyans I was to meet; these engagements have been rescheduled for early next year,” Gachagua said in a statement on August 14.
