Gachagua Lands in Gatundu South for Dowry Ceremony of Aloise Kinyanjui Brother to Moses Kuria

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has landed in Gatundu South on Saturday, January 7, 2026, to attend the dowry payment ceremony of Aloise Kinyanjui, a key political figure in the area. 

The ceremony, held in a festive atmosphere, drew family, friends, and political allies from across the region.

Aloise Kinyanjui, who is the brother of Moses Kuria, is making headlines not only for the family celebration but also for his political ambitions. 

He intends to contest the Juja Parliamentary seat under the Democratic Change Party (DCP), signaling a growing presence of the party in Kiambu County.

Gachagua’s presence at the ceremony underscores the strong ties between the DCP leadership and local political figures. 

Guests noted the former deputy president’s warm interactions with the community, emphasizing unity and collaboration ahead of the upcoming elections. 

Political analysts suggest that such appearances by senior party leaders play a strategic role in boosting the profile of emerging candidates like Kinyanjui.

The event blended cultural tradition with modern political undertones, highlighting the role of community ceremonies in reinforcing local networks. 

Elders and family members participated in traditional rituals, while speeches from political leaders underlined the importance of supporting homegrown talent and encouraging civic engagement.

Observers say that with DCP actively mobilizing in key constituencies, candidates like Aloise Kinyanjui could benefit from strong endorsements, especially from nationally recognized leaders like Gachagua. 

The ceremony was widely covered on social media, further amplifying the political significance of what might otherwise have been a private family celebration.
