Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has praised the growing momentum of opposition rallies across Kenya, calling the political activities “boiling nicely” as leaders prepare for the 2027 General Election. Speaking after an interdenominational fellowship in Portland City, Oregon, on September 14, 2026, Gachagua highlighted the large crowds at recent events, indicating a strong grassroots mobilization. He specifically noted the impact of Edwin Sifuna’s mega rally in Nairobi, which he described as a key moment in the campaign. Gachagua, who supports Sifuna, Kalonzo, and Babu Owino’s coalition, expressed confidence in their ability to secure over 2.5 million votes. His remarks come as political alliances and public engagement intensify in the lead-up to the election.
