Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has proposed an opposition unity strategy, likening it to a "hyena coalition" to challenge President Ruto in 2027.

• Gachagua is rallying behind the idea of a unified opposition with "over 8 million voters," particularly targeting the Mt Kenya region.
• Key figures involved include Rigathi Gachagua and potential opposition presidential candidates such as Kalonzo Musyoka, Fred Matiang’i, and Martha Karua.
• The term "hyena coalition" references a recent slur attributed to Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale, who allegedly compared a community to hyenas.
