The Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) has announced it will also field a candidate in the Ol Kalou by-election.
In a statement on Tuesday, April 21, DCP Secretary General Hezron Obaga said the party will conduct transparent nominations to identify the most suitable candidate.
“As the National Secretary General of DCP, I wish to assure our supporters in Ol Kalao that we will conduct free, fair, and transparent party nominations to identify our candidate for the upcoming by-election,” said Obaga.
He noted that DCP is ready to face off with the Jubilee party in the Ol Kalou by-election if the former ruling party opts to field a candidate.
Obaga highlighted that political competition is essential to democracy, adding that voters would ultimately determine who will be the next Ol Kalou Member of Parliament.
“To our brothers and sisters in Jubilee, we welcome your participation should you choose to field a candidate. Democracy thrives on competition, and ultimately, the people will have the final say,” he stated.

Further, Obaga said the previous political cooperation between DCP and Jubilee did not deliver the expected results in the Isiolo by-election.
He also pointed out that Jubilee did not support DCP’s candidate in the Narok Town ward by-election.
“We will not repeat the same mistakes we made in Isiolo and Narok. DCP is not a junior partner, and we are not lesser players in this political space.
“Moving forward, we will focus on strengthening our party and offering our supporters a clear, independent choice at the ballot,” the DCP Secretary General added.
This comes after Jubilee Deputy Party Leader Jeremiah Kioni announced that the party will field a candidate in the Ol Kalou by-election.
In a post, Kioni said the Jubilee party expected parties in the united opposition to rally behind the candidate.
The former Ndaragwa MP said the by-election will serve as a litmus test of collective commitment and trust in the united opposition.
