The shared desire to unseat President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election seems to have united a section of political leaders. The leaders have declared they are ready to sacrifice their individual ambitions to achieve the shared goal.

As People’s Liberation Party of Kenya (PLP), formerly Narc Kenya,  was unveiled on Thursday, senior politicians present talked of a possibility of forming a super coalition against the Kenya Kwanza government to “liberate the country from the yokes of oppression”.
