"We Are NOT Pulling Back" United Opposition Resumes Joint Rallies Despite Impeachment Blow

The announcement by Rigathi Gachagua that the opposition is resuming joint activities with a return to Othaya suggests that the "divide and conquer" strategy used by State House in 2025 has failed. Traditionally, Kenyan regimes survive by isolating regional kingpins.

However, by impeaching Gachagua, the administration inadvertently pushed him into the arms of Kalonzo Musyoka and Fred Matiang’i, creating a "lethal" coalition that bridges the GEMA, Akamba, and Gusii voting blocs.

If this unity holds through 2026, the arithmetic for a Ruto re-election becomes extremely difficult without a total "swallowing" of the ODM party.
