Kenya's Senator Edwin Sifuna met former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Mashujaa Day, prompting talk of a possible opposition alliance. The encounter came as political parties began considering how they might cooperate before the 2027 general election. It brought a sitting senator together with a former deputy president at a time when opposition groups are looking for ways to combine forces. No formal coalition, leadership arrangement or joint electoral ticket was announced. The meeting nevertheless suggests that opposition figures are testing closer political relationships well before voting day. Any lasting alliance would still have to reconcile rival factions and settle disagreements over leadership and policy.
