Efforts to build a united opposition coalition ahead of the 2027 General Election have hit turbulence after Democracy for Citizens (DCP) Deputy Party Leader Cleophas Malala rejected the appointment of Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi as the coalition's spokesperson.

The coalition, bringing together former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, and other opposition figures, unveiled Dr. Kituyi last week as head of its secretariat and official mouthpiece.
