Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has said that the main focus of the United Opposition is to liberate Kenya ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
Taking to his social media handles on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, after attending a consultative meeting with the United Opposition members at the People’s Liberation Party headquarters in Nairobi, the former deputy president has stated that the future of Kenya remains great.
Rigathi has revealed his immense pleasure after having the consultative meeting where all the united opposition leaders were in attendance.
“The focus remains on Kenya’s Liberation ahead of the August 10, 2027, General Election. The future of our Nation remains great,” Gachagua stated.
Earlier, Rigathi Gachagua had led a brigade of the United Opposition to attend Justin Muturi’s Democratic Party of Kenya National Delegates Conference at Ufungamano House.
The leaders who accompanied him included Wiper Movement Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Martha Karua of the Peoples Liberatio Party, Eugene Wamalwa of DAP-K and Jubilee’s Fred Matiang’i. The delegates’ conference was also attended by senators and MPs allied to the United Opposition.
During the conference, Muturi took the opportunity to recommit the leaders to the principles of constitutionalism, devolution, and the protection of democratic freedoms that generations of Kenyans have fought to secure.
The DCP leader has reiterated the opposition’s intent to stay strong together, acknowledging the role of the Democratic Party of Kenya in Kenyan politics since it was formed.
“The 1992 and the 2002 election have taught Kenya great lessons; whereas the 1992 election was lost due by the opposition due to their to disunity, the 2002 political movement that liberated Kenya economically then was won on the premise of Unity and the power of the Kenyan voter that bad governance, corruption, poor policy and an overall economic slump and reckless ruling have no space in modern history. The August 10, 2027, General Election, on the promise of unity and a better Kenya cannot afford a 1992 moment but a stronger 2002 moment,” Rigathi remarked.
The coming together of the United Opposition reaffirms their commitment to remain together to form a coalition that will compete with the ruling party UDA, as preparations and political alignments for the forthcoming elections heat up.
