A shifting political landscape in Kenya is witnessing former rivals forming unlikely alliances to challenge President William Ruto ahead of the 2027 General Election.

• Key political figures previously at odds, including Babu Owino, James Orengo, and Fred Matiang'i, are now considering a united front.
• The strategy echoes the successful coalition that defeated KANU in 2002, prioritizing unity over historical grievances.
• Polls suggest that a unified opposition could effectively challenge President Ruto, whose current support is estimated at around 24%.
