Former DP Rigathi Gachagua has declared himself the preferred presidential candidate of the United Alternative Government for the 2027 General Election, while pledging to step aside if opposition leaders agree that another candidate has a better chance of defeating President William Ruto.
Speaking after concluding his consultations with political leaders, professionals, religious leaders, youth, women, elders and grassroots representatives at his Wamunyoro home, Gachagua said Kenyans had given him three clear assignments — hold the government accountable, unite the opposition behind one presidential candidate and persuade his colleagues to back him for the presidency.
"Objective Number Three: That Rigathi Gachagua shall be the preferred Presidential candidate of the United Alternative Government in the 2027 general election," Gachagua said.
