Democracy for the Citizens (DCP) party leader and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has officially launched the North Pacific Chapter Satellite Office in Seattle, Washington, marking a new milestone in his political journey.

“We are now expanding our presence with our very first satellite office in Seattle,” Gachagua announced on Monday via a post on his X account.

He described the new office as a key step in strengthening outreach and enhancing engagement with Kenyans living in the United States, particularly those in Seattle and surrounding areas.

“This new office will strengthen our efforts, foster greater engagement, and bring our initiatives closer to the people of Seattle and the surrounding areas,” he stated.

Gachagua left Kenya on July 9, 2025, night for a two-month tour across the United States; his first international trip since being removed from office in October 2024.

The visit is aimed at engaging with the Kenyan diaspora and building relationships with international stakeholders.

His itinerary includes stops in Dallas, California, Seattle, Boston, and Baltimore, where he will hold town hall meetings and attend community events to promote his political agenda and reconnect with supporters abroad.

On July 12, Gachagua held his first official meeting with the Kenyan diaspora during a gathering in Seattle, which he described as candid and productive.
