In a recent development, opposition leaders John Methu, the Nyandarua Senator, and George Natembeya, the Trans Nzoia Governor, have been engaged in discussions as the opposition strengthens its resolve to challenge President William Ruto in the 2027 elections. Methu, an outspoken senator, emphasized the opposition's determination in a social media post on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, stating their resolve to liberate Kenya from Ruto's rule.
This comes as former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua embarks on diaspora engagement, leaving his political command base under the leadership of Methu and Cleophas Malala. Methu has been actively holding engagements and meet-the-people tours in various regions, including Laikipia, to consolidate the opposition's support ahead of the 2027 elections.
Additionally, Methu met with other opposition leaders, such as Kalonzo Musyoka from the Wiper Party and Eugene Wamalwa from the Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K), highlighting the realignment within the opposition. Notably, George Natembeya, who was once a key figure in the opposition, has since joined the Linda Mwananchi movement, influenced by Natembeya's decision to forgo his presidential ambitions and regional politics in favor of supporting the Linda Mwananchi team, led by Edwin Sifuna.
