This move is seen as a strategic effort to consolidate support and increase the chances of unseating the current President, who has enjoyed significant backing since taking office in 2022. Opposition leaders believe that presenting a united front will help overcome the fragmented political landscape that has often diluted their impact in past elections.

Speaking from Nairobi, correspondent Luke Wasike said, “The opposition is keenly aware that division has cost them dearly in previous contests. By rallying behind one candidate, they hope to build a stronger, more cohesive campaign capable of appealing to a broader section of the electorate. However, the challenge will be in selecting a candidate acceptable to all factions within the coalition.”
