National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula's endorsement of Susan Nakhumicha as the Ford Kenya candidate for the 2027 Trans Nzoia gubernatorial race has caused significant fallout within the Kenya Kwanza coalition.

• Moses Wetang'ula, the Speaker of the National Assembly, has publicly backed former Cabinet Secretary Susan Nakhumicha to unseat the incumbent governor George Natembeya in 2027.
• This decision has created sharp divisions, notably with Kiminini MP Kakai Bisau openly rejecting the endorsement, questioning Nakhumicha's popularity and challenging Wetang'ula's leadership within Kenya Kwanza.
• The fallout comes as Ford Kenya, despite past successes in the region, appears to lack a clear gubernatorial candidate in neighboring Bungoma County, further fueling internal party disputes.

A 45-day retreat hosted by Democracy for Citizen Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua at his Wamunyoro home in Nyeri County has sparked renewed calls for reconciliation with former President Uhuru Kenyatta ahead of the 2027 General Election.

• Mr. Gachagua has expressed readiness to forfeit his presidential ambitions to support an alternative opposition candidate.
• Key figures involved include Mr. Gachagua, Mr. Kenyatta, and various Mt Kenya community leaders and elders.
• Discussions also focus on potential alliances with allies of President William Ruto and strengthening the DCP for the July 16 Ol Kalou by-election.

Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro is facing a critical political decision that could impact his future standing, as he navigates the polarized political landscape regarding President William Ruto's re-election bid.

• Ndindi Nyoro is refusing to openly align with either the "Tutam" faction supporting a second term for President Ruto or the "Wantam" movement advocating for a single term.
• His indecision has drawn criticism, including from former Public Service CS Moses Kuria, and comes as rivals eye his seat in Kiharu.
• Nyoro recently requested 21 to 28 days for further reflection and consultation before declaring his political stance.
