Opposition Navigates Internal Disputes and New Alliances - September 2025

Efforts to unite Kenya's opposition are faltering due to a dispute over the appointment of Dr. Mukhisa Kituyi as the coalition's spokesperson. Concurrently, new alliances are forming, as demonstrated when former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka united at Musyoka's Yatta ranch. The pair vowed to combat what they termed State-sponsored propaganda aimed at destabilizing the opposition. Meanwhile, questions persist about the political status of ODM leader Raila Odinga. It is being considered whether he is enjoying “retirement benefits” instead of acting as an opposition watchdog, or if he could still make a lethal comeback.
