Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Wednesday held a meeting with Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka and his DAP-Kenya counterpart Eugene Wamalwa.

The three held a closed-door meeting for several hours at a hotel in Karen, Nairobi, where they reportedly agreed to work together ahead of the 2027 elections.

Taking to social media, Gachagua said their discussions "looked at various emerging issues across the nation, and in the region."

The trio also resolved to woo former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, whom they are courting to join their side and bolster their chances as he eases back into local politics. Sources have also intimated that a meeting between Kalonzo and Odinga is in the offing.

On the reconstitution of the Independent Boundaries and Electoral Commission, they resolved to closely monitor the recruitment of the commissioners and, once constituted, field joint candidates in forthcoming by-elections.
