HAPPENING NOW: Rigathi Gachagua, Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa Address Residents of Juja

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) leader Eugene Wamalwa have addressed residents of Juja in a political engagement that brings opposition leaders together ahead of the 2027 General Election.

The three leaders have been involved in consultations aimed at strengthening cooperation among opposition parties as they prepare for the next election. Their appearance in Juja comes at a time when discussions about opposition unity, leadership and the selection of a presidential candidate continue to attract attention.

Gachagua, who leads the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), has been holding discussions with Kalonzo and other opposition figures on the need to establish a united political front. The leaders have expressed interest in working together to challenge President William Ruto in the upcoming election.

Kalonzo, the Wiper leader, has also participated in the consultations, with the question of who should lead the opposition’s presidential campaign remaining an important issue in the discussions.

Wamalwa, meanwhile, has continued engaging with fellow opposition leaders as political parties explore ways to coordinate their efforts before the country heads to the ballot.

The Juja meeting provides another opportunity for the leaders to communicate with residents and discuss their political agenda. However, the specific messages delivered by each leader during the engagement would need to be confirmed from their full speeches.

The gathering also comes as political activities surrounding the 2027 elections continue to intensify, with various leaders seeking to build alliances and strengthen their support across the country.

Residents and political observers will be watching closely to see whether the ongoing engagements translate into a formal agreement among opposition parties.
