Opposition Leaders Discuss Coalition to Remove President Ruto from Power - May 2026

Opposition leaders Rigathi Gachagua and Edwin Sifuna have discussed the possibility of collaborating to remove President William Ruto from power. The Kenyan opposition is reportedly uniting behind a single ticket to challenge President Ruto in the upcoming 2027 general election. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki is opposing a bid by his predecessor, Rigathi Gachagua, to receive full pension benefits as Deputy President, arguing that granting the request would imply Gachagua is entitled to the position.
