Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has dramatically widened the possibilities for Kenya’s opposition ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Gachagua declared that he would be willing to become Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna’s running mate if political numbers show that Sifuna is the candidate most capable of defeating President William Ruto.

Speaking to Kenyans living in Spokane, Washington State, on Sunday, Gachagua said he could serve as Sifuna’s deputy if the Nairobi senator emerged as the strongest opposition candidate.
