A newly strengthened coalition of Kenyan opposition figures including Rigathi Gachagua, Kalonzo Musyoka, Martha Karua, Eugene Wamalwa, and Fred Matiang’i has formalized its strategy to challenge President William Ruto in the 2027 election. They’ve set up a technical working team and secretariat charged with selecting a single candidate by consensus or secret ballot by end‑2026. Regional responsibilities have also been divided: Gachagua and allies will coordinate Mt. Kenya, Kalonzo oversees Ukambani, Matiang’i leads the Gusii effort, and Wamalwa heads Western Kenya outreach
