Speaking to the Kenyan community in Portland, Oregon, United States, on Friday, September 11, 2026, Gachagua said the opposition principals had chosen to work through their individual party structures as they prepare to settle on a joint presidential candidate for the 2027 General Election.
The former minister said the push for a common opposition platform has received backing from former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, former Justice Minister Martha Karua and Siaya Governor James Orengo.
Speaking on JKL on Wednesday, Kituyi said he had initially taken the role seriously, including trying to establish offices for the opposition and putting in place furniture for the proposed secretariat.
