Kenya's newest party was ushered into the the country's political discourse amid chaos, goons and guns, at one time prompting former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to take cover after unveiling his Democracy for Citizens Party.
Chaos reigned momentarily at the new party headquarters along Musa Gitau Road in Lavington Nairobi, after Gachagua had made his speech, when about 100 intruders inched towards the perimeter fence of the venue as police fired in the air to disperse them.
In the ensuing melee, several journalists were roughed up and ordered to delete video clips they had recorded of gun-wielding security personnel in civilian clothes as they fired assault rifles at the stone-throwing intruders.
Gachagua was then whisked into the party office.
