The United Opposition coalition has challenged President William Ruto's assertion that he lacks formidable political rivals, vowing a strong contest in the upcoming November 27 by-elections and the 2027 General Election.

• The coalition will field one joint candidate in each by-election, eliminating internal rivalry and consolidating votes.
• In Malava Constituency, DAP–K’s Seth Panyako will face UDA’s David Ndakwa after DCP candidate Edgar Busiega stepped down for unity.
• ODM leaders, including national chairperson Gladys Wanga, accused parts of the opposition coalition of advancing tribal politics in Magarini.
