The event, called the Ukombozi Rally and organized under the Wiper Patriotic Front banner, aims to bring together leading opposition figures including Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna and DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa.
The rally is scheduled for 2:00 PM and will serve as a platform for the opposition to discuss issues affecting the country and unify their political strategy ahead of the 2027 General Election. Opposition leaders are currently navigating tensions over coalition leadership, strategy, and the process of selecting a presidential candidate, with disagreements emerging among factions.

The Kitengela rally marks another major opposition political gathering in the town, following a chaotic 2026 event that resulted in police intervention and a death.
