Gachagua arrives in Baltimore, U.S. in push to rally diaspora support

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has arrived in Baltimore, Maryland, as part of his ongoing tour of the United States, which has seen him engage with members of the Kenyan diaspora across several cities.

Gachagua, who touched down in Baltimore on Thursday night accompanied by his spouse, Pastor Dorcas Rigathi, is expected to hold a series of meetings with Kenyans drawn from various sectors.

The visit is part of a broader strategy to engage the Kenyan diaspora and consolidate support ahead of the 2027 General Elections.

“I am thrilled to have landed in Baltimore, Maryland, as part of my ongoing “Engage the Diaspora” tour, in USA accompanied by my spouse, Pastor Dorcas Rigathi,” said Gachagua.

“It is truly fulfilling to witness the indefatigable spirit of Kenyans across the world, our resilience, warmth, and vibrant culture continue to inspire.”

Gachagua, who now leads the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), has so far launched party offices in Seattle, Washington, and Boston, Massachusetts, as part of his effort to solidify grassroots support abroad.

The former DP began his U.S. tour on July 10 and is expected to visit more cities in the coming days.
