The United Opposition has announced that it will delay naming its joint presidential candidate for strategic reasons, according to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. We will declare our flagbearer a few months before the election,” Gachagua said. “I make this commitment to you: by the first quarter of 2026, the name of our presidential candidate will be made known to Kenyans. The United Opposition is not just a coalition; it’s your government-in-waiting. During the Murang’a event, Gachagua also defended retired President Uhuru Kenyatta amid criticism from some ODM members.
