United Opposition vows to back single candidate against Ruto in 2027 - August 2026

The United Opposition in Kenya has pledged to unite and present a single presidential candidate to challenge President William Ruto in the upcoming 2027 election. Opposition leaders, led by Kalonzo Musyoka, have similarly vowed to work together to unseat President William Ruto in the 2027 general election. President William Ruto has declared the opposition to be in disarray, highlighting it as a contrast to the perceived unity within his government. Meanwhile, Kiambu Governor Kimani Wamatangi alleges that political persecutions he endured over the past four years were orchestrated to pressure him into supporting land grabbing schemes.
