Political Realignments Around Gachagua and Kalonzo Alliances Emerge Ahead of 2027 Election - October 2025

The Wiper Party has refuted claims by ODM that Kalonzo Musyoka and Rigathi Gachagua were spreading misinformation about Raila Odinga's health for political gain. This comes as Nyali MP Mohammed Ali indicated a potential shift from President William Ruto's UDA party to a possible alliance with Kalonzo Musyoka and Rigathi Gachagua, who are forming an opposition front for the 2027 General Election. Following this, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi criticized Nyali MP Mohamed Ali for associating with former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, warning it could end his political career. Sudi labeled Ali an opportunist and questioned Gachagua's ability to mentor due to his perceived incompetence. These developments are occurring amidst speculation surrounding Raila Odinga's recent travel and the postponement of the ODM's 20th anniversary celebrations.
