Kenyan opposition leaders Ndindi Nyoro, Matiang'i and Martha Karua have called for unity ahead of the 2027 presidential election. They urged the opposition to present a single candidate to challenge President Uhuru Kenyatta’s successor, warning that internal divisions could harm their chances.
The leaders condemned President Kenyatta’s economic policies, comparing his leadership to that of former US President Donald Trump. They highlighted concerns over economic mismanagement and corruption, arguing that a fractured opposition would weaken their ability to challenge the ruling party.
This comes as the opposition prepares for its next electoral cycle, with the 2027 election set to determine Kenya’s next president. The leaders’ call for unity follows recent tensions within the opposition, including disagreements over strategy and candidate selection. The move reflects growing pressure on the opposition to present a united front in order to compete effectively against the ruling party.
