United opposition team rallies for votes in Mai Mahiu, Naivasha Constituency
The United Opposition coalition, led by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, has launched a high-profile political engagement tour across Nakuru County, aiming to consolidate grassroots support ahead of the 2027 general election.
Gachagua was accompanied by prominent leaders including Kalonzo Musyoka, Fred Matiang’i, Cleo Malalah, and Dr. Eugene Wamalwa and Martha Karua, all playing key roles in rallying residents and outlining the coalition’s political agenda.
The tour began with a grand entry into Naivasha town, where the leaders addressed residents at a series of public gatherings, highlighting concerns over governance and public accountability.
Social media posts from the coalition confirmed the team’s presence in towns across Nakuru County, including Gilgil, Mai Mahiu, and Nakuru Town, where they engaged with local constituents.
During the Naivasha engagement, Gachagua criticised the current government, describing it as a regime that has allegedly allowed corruption and impunity to flourish, undermining the aspirations of ordinary Kenyans.
The leaders emphasised that the coalition represents an alternative political direction, focused on transparency, accountability, and the protection of citizens’ rights.
Fred Matiang’i and Kalonzo Musyoka echoed Gachagua’s sentiments, stressing the need for strong leadership and the restoration of public trust in government institutions.
Cleo Malalah highlighted the importance of youth participation in political processes, urging young voters to engage actively in shaping Kenya’s political future.
The coalition’s itinerary, shared on verified social media pages, indicated a two-day engagement plan, with public meetings and rallies designed to mobilise support and strengthen local networks.
Officials confirmed that the team held separate discussions with community leaders and stakeholders in each town, seeking to understand local issues and incorporate them into the coalition’s platform.
Reports indicate that these engagements are part of a broader strategy to cover several counties, with Nakuru serving as a key political hub in the Rift Valley region.
Social media coverage from verified coalition accounts documented large crowds at the rallies, with residents expressing support for the political vision outlined by Gachagua and his team.
The opposition leaders maintained that their campaign is focused on inclusivity and national unity, aiming to address longstanding grievances and promote equitable development across all regions.
The tour concluded with a message from Gachagua affirming that the coalition is committed to safeguarding citizens’ aspirations and building a governance model that prioritises accountability, justice, and the rule of law.
