The Democracy for Citizens Party’s (DCP) Political Affairs Director, Stanley Kimure, has allegedly been abducted after Gachagua’s visit to Ol Kalou for a funeral service on Wednesday, April 8.
While relaying the news, Lawyer Ndegwa Njiru, allied to Gachagua, said unknown individuals around Rironi allegedly abducted the DCP official.
“DCP Political Affairs Director Stanley Kimure (Stano) has been abducted by unknown individuals around Rironi,” stated Lawyer Njiru.
He added that he was with Mark Muriithi Mwenje, Member of Parliament for Embakasi West Constituency, and was abducted using a Subaru Forester.
“He was with Hon. Mark Mwenje at the time. Mheshimiwa is currently pursuing the car along Limuru Road,” added Lawyer Njiru.

The alleged abduction ensued after a fiery exchange between President William Ruto’s Gachagua’s camp during the burial of the late Ol Kalau MP David Kiaharo on April 8, marking their first time both leaders shared the same stage following Gachagua’s impeachment in October 2024.
Tension escalated when Nyandarua Senator John Methu, an ally of Gachagua, was forced to end his speech after declaring that he “respects but does not fear” President Ruto. Methu was interrupted by other leaders after specifically acknowledging Gachagua and criticising the National Assembly Majority Leader, Kimani Ichung’wah.
Gachagua took the opportunity to address his removal from office, appearing emboldened and directing criticism at his successors and Ruto’s allies. He was warmly received by a section of the crowd and aimed to demonstrate his continued influence in the region.
President Ruto strongly pushed back against claims that he needed permission to visit the Mt. Kenya region, directly addressing Gachagua’s assertions of regional leadership.
