The meeting at Matiang’i’s Karen office came as the opposition navigates a series of internal shifts, including recent resignations from the Jubilee Party National Executive Committee and reports that some elected leaders from the Gusii region are increasingly gravitating towards the Linda Mwananchi movement.

The developments have fuelled debate over emerging centres of influence within the opposition, even as leaders insist they remain united under the United Alternative Government.

Seeking to dispel perceptions of internal divisions, Matiang’i said the meeting focused on strengthening coordination among opposition leaders.

“This morning, I held a productive consultative meeting with the Linda Mwananchi team, led by Nairobi Senator Hon. Edwin Sifuna, at my office in Karen ahead of the team’s tour of Western Kenya,” Matiang’i said.

He said the discussions centred on deepening strategic collaboration as the opposition prepares for the 2027 polls.

“Our discussions focused on strengthening strategic coordination across the United Alternative Government and aligning our efforts as we continue to offer Kenyans a credible, principled and people-centred alternative ahead of the 2027 General Election,” he said.

Matiang’i said opposition leaders would continue holding regular consultations to reinforce cohesion within the coalition.

“We remain committed to regular consultations and purposeful engagement as we work together to restore accountable leadership, uphold constitutional governance and put our country firmly back on the path of national renewal,” he said.

The meeting comes amid heightened political activity within the opposition, with recent departures by allies of former President Uhuru Kenyatta from the Jubilee Party National Executive Committee adding to uncertainty over the future direction of one of the coalition’s affiliate parties.
