Opposition leaders Rigathi Gachagua, Kalonzo Musyoka, and Justin Muturi have launched a three-day tour of Meru County, directly challenging Deputy President Kithure Kindiki's influence in the Mt Kenya region.

• The tour also aims to boost former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Mithika Linturi's gubernatorial bid.
• Gachagua alleged a plot by President Ruto, through Deputy President Kindiki and CS Ruku, to divide the Mt Kenya vote.
• Opposition principals expressed confidence in the region uniting against President William Ruto in 2027, despite alleged government efforts to disrupt their rallies.
• Deputy President Kindiki, meanwhile, is focusing on development projects and challenging the opposition to present their delivery records.

Kenya's Opposition has accused President William Ruto of planning to use the proposed National Infrastructure Fund (NIF) covertly for his 2027 re-election campaigns.

• The accusation was made by Opposition leaders, including Kalonzo Musyoka, on March 5, 2026.
• The key figures involved are the Opposition and President William Ruto.
• A notable detail is the claim that the fund's money will be used to "covertly" support campaign efforts.

A legal dispute is brewing over the registration of the Linda Mwananchi Party of Kenya, as the individual who reserved the name challenges objections from a group of opposition leaders.

• The opposition leaders, including ODM's Edwin Sifuna, Siaya Governor James Orengo, and Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi, claim the slogan is integral to their political mobilization.
• The applicant's lawyers argue the name is available on a "first-come, first-served" basis and the objections lack legal merit under the Political Parties Act.
• Additional concerns have been raised in Parliament regarding the slogan's potential implications for national security and constitutional boundaries.
