Former MP and Gachagua Aide Joins ODM After Ditching DCP

The move comes as political parties continue positioning themselves ahead of the 2027 elections, with several politicians shifting allegiances and exploring new political formations.

Former Embakasi West MP George Theuri has officially joined the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) after ditching the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP).

Theuri was received into ODM on Tuesday, September 29, by ODM Secretary General Catherine Omanyo, marking his latest political shift ahead of the 2027 General Election.

"Welcome to the Chungwa Movement, George Theuri…in ODM we make dreams come true," the party stated.

According to ODM, the former lawmaker committed his support and allegiance to ODM and the broad-based government.

"SG Omanyo today officially received into the party the immediate former MP for Embakasi West, Hon. Theuri, who committed his support and allegiance to the Movement," ODM said.

Theuri had served as Embakasi West MP from 2013 to 2022, when he lost the election after contesting on the UDA ticket, losing to Jubilee's Mark Mwenje.
