Nairobi ODM delegates have rejected any attempts to have Governor Johnson Sakaja run on the ODM ticket in the 2027 gubernatorial race, vowing to lobby against such moves.

• Delegates insisted that ODM should field its own candidates and not allow individuals from other parties, such as UDA, to use its ticket.
• Key figures involved include Nairobi ODM chairman George Aladwa, who delegates are backing for the gubernatorial seat.
• The delegates also resolved to support President Ruto's re-election.

Kalonzo Musyoka, leader of the Ukombozi Alliance, is seeking to inherit the political mantle of the late Raila Odinga in Western Kenya. Musyoka's campaign aims to solidify opposition support ahead of the 2027 General Election.

• Musyoka highlighted his 15 years of loyalty to Raila Odinga, positioning himself as Odinga's successor.
• Key figures joining Musyoka include Eugene Wamalwa and Justin Muturi, rallying against President William Ruto's administration.
• The opposition leaders raised concerns about the high cost of living and alleged government plans to rig the 2027 elections by registering foreign voters.

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta's strategic political maneuvering is raising questions among analysts due to his approach of supporting multiple opposition factions rather than a single candidate.

• Uhuru Kenyatta has formally endorsed Fred Matiang'i as the Jubilee Party leader and presidential successor.
• He is also supporting other opposition groups, including the Linda Mwananchi team led by Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, and serving as Azimio Council chairperson.
• This multi-pronged support strategy has created "ripples and confusion" regarding his political agenda.
