Gachagua is expected to land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport on Thursday afternoon, after cutting short a two-month tour of the United States.
The early return follows a gazette notice by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) scheduling by-elections for November 27 to fill contested seats.
He is expected to lead a procession from the airport to Kamukunji grounds in Nairobi, where he plans to address a rally.
