About Groups — DCP Kwa Ground

Groups on DCP Kwa Ground

At DCP Kwa Ground, we know that all politics is local and it starts at the grassroots. That’s why we organize members into groups based on their voting zones. Each community faces unique challenges, and by connecting people within their zones, we make it easier to mobilize, discuss local issues, and rally support around what matters most to them.

We have 4 types of groups

Please note that you have to be logged in to access the groups
