Gachagua vs Matiang’i: War of words shakes Opposition

The opposition is once again facing renewed internal rivalries after Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua suggested a three-bloc alliance that brings together his party, the Linda Mwananchi Movement and the Wiper Patriotic Front.

His proposal appears to downplay the influence of other opposition leaders, including Jubilee Party Leader Fred Matiang’i, Martha Karua of People’s Liberation Party (PLP), Eugene Wamalwa of DAP-K, Ndindi Nyoro of People’s Party of Kenya (PPK) and Democratic Party of Kenya (DP) leader Justin Muturi in the formation’s broader 2027 political equation.
