Gachagua dismisses opposition divisions as 'polygamous family' rivalry

Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua has dismissed claims of divisions within the Opposition, describing the disagreements among its leaders as normal sibling rivalry in a polygamous family, while insisting that the coalition remains united behind plans to field a single presidential candidate in the 2027 General Election. Gachagua said the Opposition leaders were committed to working together to challenge President William Ruto, despite their differing opinions on the timing of selecting a joint presidential flagbearer and occasional disagreements among their political camps. Speaking during a church service in Isinya, Kajiado County, the former Deputy President likened the political differences to children from the same father competing for attention but eventually uniting whenever an external threat emerges. "The Opposition is united to a man, and we have agreed that we will have a single presidential candidate. Everybody is committed, and we talk on a daily basis.
