Party Structure

How the Democracy for the Citizens Party is organised

A five-level structure that carries the citizen's voice from the polling centre all the way to the National Delegates Convention.

Our Foundation

Grassroots first. Always.

Every organ of DCP is anchored on the member. Decisions flow upward — from Polling Centre Conventions, through Ward and Sub-branch committees, to the County Branch and the National organs. This is how we live our slogan, Skiza Wakenya.
