Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka has urged Kenya's United Opposition to prioritize unity and a common political cause over opinion polls in their strategy to defeat President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election.

• Kalonzo warned that opinion polls could be manipulated to favor President Ruto and influence internal opposition negotiations.
• The Wiper Party leader expressed willingness to deputize other opposition figures, emphasizing that the presidential ticket choice must consider Kenya's political and demographic realities.
• He believes a united opposition could achieve a decisive victory, potentially exceeding 70 per cent support, and is developing a 13-point agenda to address national challenges.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) faces a significant challenge in retaining its political base in Nairobi for the 2027 General Election following the death of its long-time leader, Raila Odinga.

• In the 2022 General Election, ODM secured key positions including the Nairobi Senate, Woman Representative, 38 county assembly seats, and eight parliamentary seats.
• Internal party divisions have emerged, with factions led by Dr. Oburu Oginga and Senator Edwin Sifuna.
• Key figures like Tim Wanyonyi have declined offers to run for governorship in Nairobi, indicating shifts in political alignments.
