Former President Uhuru Kenyatta is set to chair a crucial Azimio Coalition Council meeting to discuss rebranding and reorganizing the opposition bloc into a broader coalition ahead of the 2027 General Election.

• The meeting aims to unite opposition parties against President William Ruto's allies, who are perceived to be gaining ground.
• A proposed Narc-style model would allow constituent parties to retain their identities while backing a common presidential candidate.
• Key figures like Kalonzo Musyoka and Fred Matiang'i are central to discussions, with potential presidential ticket combinations being explored.

Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has urged President William Ruto to prioritize addressing Kenya's current economic hardships and implementing the Constitution over launching a new long-term development plan.

• Kalonzo argues that millions of Kenyans are struggling with the high cost of living, unemployment, and inflation.
• He criticized the premature launch of Vision 2060, stating that the goals of Vision 2030 have not yet been met.
• Kalonzo also dismissed claims that retired President Uhuru Kenyatta is orchestrating opposition against President Ruto, emphasizing that the opposition is organizing itself.

Kibwezi West Member of Parliament Mwengi Mutuse has urged former President Uhuru Kenyatta to retire gracefully and cease involvement in rallying opposition against President William Ruto.

• Mutuse highlighted President Ruto's long-standing political support for Kenyatta, dating back to 2002.
• The legislator criticized Kenyatta for aligning with emerging opposition alliances, citing Ruto's past contributions to his presidential campaigns in 2013 and 2017.
• Mutuse stressed that the Kenya Kwanza administration is focused on development and should not be distracted by early political maneuvering ahead of the 2027 General Election.
