Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has welcomed businessman and politician Peter Chuma into the growing list of leaders seeking positions through the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP). Chuma is preparing to run for the Embakasi West Constituency parliamentary seat in Nairobi in the next general election.
Gachagua met Chuma during a political meeting where several leaders gathered to discuss the future of the party and its plans in the capital. The former deputy president said the party was focused on building strong grassroots support across the country. He noted that areas like Embakasi West are important in shaping the political direction of Nairobi.
Peter Chuma has recently increased his activities in Embakasi West as he prepares to seek the parliamentary seat. He has been meeting residents, youth groups, and community leaders to understand the issues affecting the constituency. His campaign is expected to focus on employment, business support, and improving public services in the area.
Embakasi West is one of the largest constituencies in Nairobi and has a large population of young people and small business owners. Many residents rely on informal businesses, transport services, and small enterprises for income. Leaders seeking office in the area often focus on job creation and improving infrastructure.
