“We Have Chosen Our Candidate”: Fresh Claims Emerge About Sifuna and DCP’s 2027 Plans

A fresh political claim has placed Kenya’s opposition politics under the spotlight, with reports suggesting that former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua could be involved in plans that may reshape the 2027 presidential race.

Political commentator Robert Alai claimed that Gachagua is currently meeting former President Uhuru Kenyatta as part of plans to endorse Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna as a presidential candidate and Methu as a possible running mate under the DCP and Linda Mwananchi political arrangement.

The claim has attracted attention because any cooperation between influential opposition figures could significantly change the political calculations ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Sifuna has increasingly featured in political discussions surrounding the future of the opposition, particularly among Kenyans watching the emergence of Linda Mwananchi as a possible political force.

However, the reported meeting and alleged endorsement plans have not been independently confirmed, meaning the claims should be treated with caution.

Gachagua remains an influential figure in opposition politics, while Uhuru’s position in any emerging alliance could carry considerable weight. Their possible involvement in discussions around Sifuna would therefore raise questions about the direction of the opposition and the strategy it could adopt against President William Ruto.

Many people were left talking as the claims circulated, with some wondering whether a new political alliance could be taking shape behind closed doors.

The incident sparked reactions online, particularly because choosing a presidential candidate and running mate could influence how different political camps position themselves before the next election.

Supporters appeared divided over whether such an arrangement would strengthen the opposition or trigger fresh disagreements over leadership and political influence.

What happened next surprised many observers, as attention shifted towards whether the key figures mentioned would publicly address the claims or clarify their positions.

For now, Kenyans will be watching closely for an official statement confirming or dismissing the reported discussions.

Do you think Sifuna could unite the opposition and emerge as a strong presidential candidate in 2027?
