According to Gachagua, the launch of the Seattle branch marks a major step in expanding the party's reach beyond Kenya's borders.
"DCP Party is now expanding its presence with our very first satellite office in Seattle. DCP Party Leader Rigathi Gachagua officially inaugurated the North Pacific Chapter Satellite Office, marking a new milestone in our journey to connect and serve Kenyans across the region," said Gachagua.
He added that the new office will enhance the party's ability to connect with Kenyans in the diaspora and support their involvement in national affairs.
"This new office will strengthen our efforts, foster greater engagement, and bring our initiatives closer to the people of Seattle and the surrounding areas. Together, we are building a stronger, more inclusive future," he said.
Gachagua is currently on a two-month tour of the United States, having left the country on the night of July 9, 2025, marking his first international trip since his removal from office in October 2024.
His schedule includes visits to Dallas, California, Seattle, Boston, and Baltimore, where he is expected to hold town hall meetings and participate in community events aimed at promoting his political agenda and reconnecting with Kenyans living abroad.
The gatherings are also expected to give him a platform to share his political message and hear from Kenyans living abroad.
Gachagua initially unveiled the DCP party in Kenya on May 15, during a high-profile event that introduced the party's name and the entity's leadership team.
At the time, Gachagua announced that the party's name had already been submitted to the Registrar of Political Parties for ratification.
The unveiling marked his first major political move since parting ways with the ruling party, United Democratic Alliance (UDA).
