Rigathi Gachagua and Kalonzo Musyoka are split over when the United Opposition should unveil its 2027 presidential candidate, exposing internal tensions and competing strategies ahead of the next election. Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has openly differed with Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF) leader Kalonzo Musyoka over when the United Opposition should unveil its presidential candidate, exposing cracks within the outfit. Gachagua’s remarks sharply contrast with Kalonzo’s position. Last Monday, Kalonzo announced that the coalition had resolved to unveil its presidential candidate by March 2026 in a bid to prepare for a direct contest with President Ruto.

He made the remarks during the burial of Embakasi North MP James Gakuya’s mother, Alice Wangari. Gachagua, who also heads the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), argued that the opposition would be better served by waiting until later in the election year, warning that an early announcement would invite intimidation and harassment from the Kenya Kwanza administration. “We shall have one candidate to face Kasongo [President William Ruto]. I want to ask for patience. Don’t be in a hurry. The election is still far away,” Gachagua said. “If we announce our presidential candidate right now, he will be intimidated and harassed by Ruto. We can’t do that. We are not fools.” According to the former deputy president, secrecy and timing are critical in shielding the opposition’s eventual flag bearer from what he termed “state infiltration”.

(Photo: X/Rigathi Gachagua) To support his stance, Gachagua pointed to the 2002 General Election, when the National Rainbow Coalition (NARC) delayed announcing its candidate until shortly before polling day. He recalled that Mwai Kibaki was unveiled as NARC’s presidential candidate on October 14, 2002, just over two months before the December 27 election, before going on to defeat Uhuru Kenyatta, who had the backing of then-President Daniel arap Moi. “The election was only two months and 13 days away when Kibaki was announced,” Gachagua said, suggesting that a late endorsement helped the opposition avoid internal sabotage and external interference while maintaining unity until the final stretch. Kalonzo, however, argued that an early declaration would signal seriousness and cohesion, framing the coalition as a “government-in-waiting” united by shared values rather than individual ambition. He said opposition leaders had agreed on presenting a single candidate and would not delay preparations, citing growing public demand for change. He clarified that the decision to name the flag bearer by April 2026 was driven by what he described as the “fierce urgency of now,” saying Kenya could no longer endure prolonged political uncertainty. “The United Opposition is not just a coalition. It is your Government-in-Waiting,” Kalonzo said, adding that the alliance was grounded in constitutionalism, economic justice, integrity in public office, and the protection of fundamental rights. These differences are emerging even as fresh reports from sources close to Uhuru indicate that Kalonzo is being courted to either back or work closely with Jubilee Party flag bearer Fred Matiang’i rather than Gachagua. Uhuru and Kalonzo quietly held a high-level meeting with former Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo during their recent visit to Nigeria, in what insiders describe as a calculated move ahead of Kenya’s 2027 General Election.
