A section of opposition leaders are meeting for a major political gathering at Kalonzo Musyoka’s home in Tseikuru, Kitui.

Martha Karua and Fred Matiang’i, who both have interests in the alliance, are out of the country.

The alliance is positioning itself as a formidable force ahead of the 2027 General Election, aiming to unseat President William Ruto.

This is their second major meeting following an April gathering in Nairobi, where the leaders pledged to "liberate Kenyans" from Ruto’s administration.
