The Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF) has rejected rumors of a political pact between its leader Kalonzo Musyoka and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua ahead of the 2027 General Election. In a statement on August 20, 2026, WPF spokesperson Ndegwa Njiru confirmed that no exclusive agreement had been reached between the two leaders.
WPF emphasized that the meeting held on August 17 at Gachagua's residence was merely a gesture of appreciation for the lawmakers' support during Musyoka's impeachment. The party remains committed to collaborating with its sister parties in the United Alternative Government In Waiting, an opposition coalition challenging President William Ruto's administration in the 2027 elections.
Njiru stated that discussions on the coalition's leadership and strategy would continue through inclusive consultations with all parties, focusing on shared democratic values and Kenyan interests. The WPF's clarification comes as opposition parties intensify preparations for the upcoming elections, with the identity of the coalition's presidential flagbearer remaining a critical political issue.
