Kenya's 'united opposition', led by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, faces significant internal divisions and challenges in maintaining a cohesive front against President William Ruto. As Gachagua returns from the United States, the opposition's previous momentum from rallies has subsided, replaced by less impactful press briefings, while the ruling party consolidates public engagement.

• The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), led by Gachagua, is experiencing a power struggle with allied parties like DAP-K, specifically regarding the Malava by-election.
• Former President Uhuru Kenyatta's Jubilee Party is also grappling with internal strife, with debates on whom to back for the next presidential elections and a looming purge of officials.
• History Professor Dr. Timothy Onduru of Moi University states, "They are not united... If they remain divided, the chances that they will defeat Ruto are very slim."

Former Deputy President and DCP Party leader Rigathi Gachagua is expected to return to Kenya next Thursday after a visit to the United States. He reportedly cut short his two-month trip to campaign for parliamentary aspirants of his party in upcoming elections.

• Rigathi Gachagua spent one month and twelve days in the United States.
• He is leader of the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP).
• Gachagua will focus on campaigning for DCP candidates in Banisa, Magharini, Malava, and Mbeere North.
