Kenya: Uhuru - Kenyans Have Already Decided On 2027 Presidential Vote - Now Unite

What the report says

Former Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta used a public appearance in Nairobi on Wednesday, November 11, to urge opposition leaders to close ranks ahead of the 2027 General Election. According to Capital FM, which was distributed by AllAfrica, he said his conversations with ordinary Kenyans suggested voters want opposition figures to work together rather than remain divided.

Kenyatta made the remarks during a requiem mass for his cousin, Beatrice Wambui Muturi, at PCEA Nairobi West Church. He addressed a group of opposition politicians that included Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Democratic Action Party-Kenya leader Eugene Wamalwa. While he did not endorse any one contender, he warned that rival ambitions could weaken efforts to build a joint political platform.

The report says the former president’s comments come as opposition figures intensify talks on a possible coalition to challenge President William Ruto. Those discussions have reportedly been complicated by disagreements over when to choose a presidential flagbearer, how to share responsibilities and how different regional and political interests should be balanced.

Kenyatta also tied unity to justice and future stability, saying Kenya needs leaders focused on the country’s next chapter rather than old disputes. As general context, his appeal echoes earlier opposition alliances in Kenyan politics, but the article does not say such an outcome is certain.
