Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has assured the diaspora Kenyans that the united opposition will field just one presidential candidate in the 2027 General Election. Speaking at a church service in Dracut, Massachusetts, Gachagua stated that he is willing to put aside his personal ambitions to ensure the opposition leaders agree on a single candidate.

The former Deputy President pledged his support for whichever candidate the opposition coalition chooses, even if it is not him. He cautioned against allowing personal ambitions to undermine the opposition's effort to present a united front in the upcoming elections. Gachagua urged Kenyans living abroad to continue supporting the opposition leaders in their unity-building efforts.

He also expressed his intention to address corruption issues, as concerns over corruption have deterred some diaspora Kenyans from investing in the country.
