Peoples' Liberation Party (PLP) leader Martha Karua's proposal for the Opposition to field joint candidates in all six elective positions has been met with mixed reactions from other Opposition leaders. Karua asserts this strategy will prevent vote splitting and counter the ruling party's influence, citing lessons from the 2022 general election where Azimio La Umoja lost over 30 parliamentary seats by fielding multiple candidates.

• Martha Karua advocates for joint Opposition nominations for all elective seats, from Member of County Assembly (MCA) to the Presidency, to avoid "cannibalism" among opposition parties.
• DCP's Deputy Party leader Clephas Malala opposes the idea, arguing it stifles party democracy and that individual parties should popularize themselves while uniting for the Presidential race.
• Democratic Party leader Justin Muturi calls the proposal a "desire" that needs ratification within a formal Opposition coalition.
• Wiper Patriotic Front (WPF) leader Kalozo Musyoka describes Karua's proposal as "brilliant," but emphasizes the need for approval from coalition principals and further interrogation by stakeholders.
• The strategy is being tested in mini polls in areas such as Banisa and Malava, with an eye towards the 2027 general election.
