Trouble in Opposition as Sections of Supporters Threaten to Back Sakaja in Gubernatorial Race

The dispute comes amid discussions over the opposition's potential candidate for the Nairobi governor's seat, with the possibility of a joint ticket and zoning, raising questions about the coalition's unity.

Trouble is starting to loom in the united opposition over fielding candidates for other positions across the country, especially their quest to capture the Nairobi Governor seat in the 2027 General Elections.

Nairobi Gubernatorial aspirant Agnes Kagure's supporters have raised an alarm over a plot to hand over a direct opposition ticket for the Nairobi governor race to some aspirants and push Kagure out of the race.

Speaking during a gathering on Sunday, October 18, the supporters argued that the opposition is pushing her to vie for the Nyeri gubernatorial seat.

According to the supporters, they would not support a candidate imposed on them, insisting that the process of selecting the opposition's flag bearer must be transparent and fair.
