On Monday, 26 October 2026, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua (Democracy for the Citizens Party – DCP) hosted Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Democratic Action Party-Kenya (DAP-K) leader Eugene Wamalwa at his Wamunyoro residence in Nyeri.
Key points discussed:
Building a unified opposition front against President Ruto in the 2027 General Election.
Fielding a single presidential candidate
Timing of naming the flagbearer (some tension reported between Gachagua and Kalonzo on whether to name early or later).
Power-sharing and role allocation (presidency, running mate, Cabinet positions, etc.) once a single ticket is agreed.
Broader consultations expected to intensify through December, with optimism of an announcement before year-end.
Gachagua described the talks as consultations on “the liberation of our country and the formation of the 6th administration.” Both sides publicly denied that the meeting focused solely on a detailed power-sharing deal. The meeting followed Gachagua’s earlier talks with Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and Linda Mwananchi leaders. Seating arrangements (leaders side-by-side) drew public and analyst commentary
