What began as a wedding celebration in Nakuru quickly became a political meeting of sorts. Key opposition leaders Rigathi Gachagua, Kalonzo Musyoka, and Fred Matiang’i were all present at the wedding of Kalonzo’s son, Kevin Muasya, to Sharon.
While the wedding was beautiful and full of joy, the event became much more than just a celebration of love. It was a rare chance for these political figures to come together and discuss the future of Kenya, especially as the 2027 general election approaches.
Many people attending the wedding were surprised to see Gachagua, Kalonzo, and Matiang’i all in the same place, exchanging friendly words.
This was significant because the three leaders have not always been seen working together in the past. Gachagua, who was once a deputy president under Ruto’s government, is now openly challenging the current administration and has made it clear that he wants to run for president in 2027.
Kalonzo Musyoka has also been positioning himself as a potential presidential candidate, while Matiang’i, after being quiet for some time, seems to be showing his hand as well.
Behind the cheerful faces and polite conversation, sources say that the leaders were talking about forming a united opposition front for 2027.
This has been a major topic of discussion among opposition politicians. With President William Ruto’s government facing criticism from many Kenyans, these leaders see an opportunity to present a strong alternative to the ruling party in the next election.
During an earlier interview, Gachagua made it clear that he is open to supporting whichever candidate the opposition agrees on. “I want to be the one leading, but if the people choose someone else, I will support them,” he said.
This kind of teamwork shows that these leaders are putting aside their personal ambitions for the greater good of the country.
The meeting in Nakuru was seen as a step toward finding common ground, not just for the 2027 election but for the long-term future of Kenya. Gachagua, Kalonzo, and Matiang’i are all aware that without unity, they stand little chance against Ruto’s powerful political machine. By joining forces, they hope to offer Kenyans a fresh choice come election time.
This was not just a wedding — it was a political gathering that could change the course of Kenya’s political landscape. As we move closer to 2027, all eyes will be on this group of leaders to see if they can truly unite and create a viable challenge to the current government.
