Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has alleged a plot to manipulate the 2027 General Election, claiming a South Korean firm has been pre-selected for a controversial election technology tender.

• Gachagua claims the procurement process by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is a "mundane public relations exercise" with a predetermined outcome.
• Key individuals accused of pushing the tender include the IEBC Chairperson and Vice Chairperson.
• The former DP raised concerns about the South Korean firm's alleged history of election controversies in other countries and potential misuse of Kenya's voter registration database.

Opposition leaders Kalonzo Musyoka and Eugene Wamalwa met with Rigathi Gachagua to intensify efforts to unite behind a single candidate to challenge President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election.

• The meeting is part of a "unity of purpose" campaign aimed at consolidating the opposition vote.
• Key figures involved include Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, DAP-Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa, and DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua.
• This comes after members of the United Alternative Government signed a memorandum of understanding to support a common presidential candidate.

The Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) leader, Rigathi Gachagua, is embarking on a five-city tour of the United States from August 26 to plan for the 2027 election roadmap.

• Gachagua will visit Spokane, Washington; Portland, Oregon; Kansas; Dallas, Texas; and Boston, Massachusetts.
• The tour aims to engage the Kenyan diaspora, which saw a slight increase in voter registration for the 2027 general elections.
• Gachagua stated the extended trip allows him to make political decisions away from external influence back home and will remain reachable for urgent matters.
