Rigathi Gachagua, leader of the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), stated that the United Opposition is not in a hurry to reveal its presidential candidate for the 2027 Kenyan elections. He affirmed their commitment to fronting a single candidate to challenge President William Ruto, urging patience due to the delicate nature of coalition building.

• Gachagua compared the situation to Mwai Kibaki's 2002 announcement, which occurred 2 months and 13 days before the election.
• He accused President William Ruto of enabling corruption, labeling State House a "scene of crime" used for United Democratic Alliance (UDA) affairs and alleging bribery.
• Gachagua claimed that Senators received Ksh.10 million to Ksh.20 million in bribes during his ousting and accused Ruto and Deputy Kithure Kindiki of normalizing corruption.
