Opposition Unites for 2027 Ticket

Democratic Action Party of Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa says Komboa Kenya alliance will begin talks next week with key opposition figures on a unified presidential ticket to challenge President William Ruto in 2027.

“This week and next month, we are asking those others in Linda Mwananchi, including Sifuna and Orengo, to come together with us so that we get one candidate”

Opposition Calls for Unity

Wamalwa urged religious leaders and Kenyans to pray for unity and a peaceful electoral process, warning against divisions and violence as political parties position themselves for the polls.

2027 Election Timeline

With fewer than 300 days remaining before the 2027 General Election, the country needs a credible, peaceful and violence-free contest that would safeguard national cohesion and democratic principles.

Voter Registration Push

Wamalwa called on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to make the existing voters' register available to political parties ahead of a planned mass voter registration exercise.

“Next month, iebc, we are going for the final mass voter registration. we want the register by now, already registered members be availed to all of us”

Economic Concerns

Wamalwa cited rising cost of living, including fuel prices and basic commodities like milk, as issues likely to shape the opposition's engagement with voters ahead of the 2027 elections.
