Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya has refuted claims that the opposition has already selected its presidential candidate for the 2027 General Elections, directly challenging former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's assertion that he will be the flagbearer.

• Natembeya stated that the opposition will assess a candidate's ability to attract support and their resource capacity before choosing a flagbearer, calling Gachagua's declaration a "cold fact."
• Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), affirmed his intention to run for president despite past impeachment claims, vowing to streamline healthcare, housing, and education if elected.
• The opposition's immediate focus, according to Natembeya, is to unite against President William Ruto's policies and strategize to remove him from power in the upcoming polls.
