📻 Breaking It Down

The group announced the endorsement Kalonzo pursued a separate programme in Siaya, where he attended a church service in Bondo on Sunday alongside Democratic Party leader Justin Muturi and DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa, ahead of a planned “Meet the People” tour.

The Windsor retreat on Saturday came just over a month after opposition leaders gathered at the same venue on August 24 to sign a unity pact ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Kalonzo, Jubilee’s Fred Matiang’i, PLP’s Martha Karua, Muturi and Wamalwa were among those present at the August meeting. Gachagua did not attend the August 24 retreat, with DCP Deputy Leader Cleophas Malala representing the party.

Gachagua, speaking separately from his Wamunyoro home as the August meeting took place, maintained that he would defend his right to contest the presidency in 2027 and rejected suggestions that his role should simply be to help unite the opposition behind another candidate.

Gachagua has also said he would be willing to work with other opposition leaders to produce a single candidate, while maintaining that he could himself be considered for the position.

The DCP has subsequently indicated that it would seek an arrangement with Linda Mwananchi before negotiating a broader opposition coalition.

At Saturday’s Linda Mwananchi retreat, Wundanyi MP Danson Mwashako and Kisii Senator Richard Onyonka were among the leaders present.

Mwashako has increasingly appeared alongside Linda Mwananchi leaders in recent months, becoming less visible at Wiper activities.

Siaya Governor James Orengo, another prominent figure associated with Linda Mwananchi, was also absent from the retreat.
