The Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP)—officially registered on February 3, 2025, with the Registrar of Political Parties - was unveiled on Thursday, May 15, 2025, at the party headquarters in Lavington, Nairobi.
Party leader Rigathi Gachagua, who steered the unveiling, said the party's slogan is "Kazi na Haki" (Work and Justice) and "Skiza Wakenya" (Listen to Kenyans).
In a statement on X, Malala said Kenyans now have a party that will listen to all their grievances.
"It is done. Now Kenyans finally have a party that is ready to listen to their needs, aspirations, and expectations. This remains the rubric behind the formation of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP). Our clarion call remains; Skiza Wakenya. Sasa kazi ianze (Let the work begin)."
Gachagua emphasised that the DCP is designed to be a national party rooted in inclusivity, with leadership roles distributed across different regions and demographic groups-including Gen Z representation.
