Finally Edwin Sifuna is admitting that his new King Rigathi Gachagua with whom he has had issues on integrity through impeachment hearings and he can now sweep all that under the ground to get Gachagua support to be a nominee for the opposition presidential candidacy.
Sifuna’s presidential platform right now is look, I will wear a black T-shirt and brown pants and Gachagua is with me. Grand plan, isn’t it?
Sifuna described his engagement with Gachagua as an unlikely political partnership, given their history of disagreements, but said the threat he believes Ruto poses to the country leaves no room for personal sentiment.
“There can be no room for sentiment. I was trying to explain to people how I found myself sitting next to Rigathi Gachagua. We are the most unlikely of bedfellows, as they say,” Sifuna said.
He added that the two had a “very checkered history” but had reached a point where their differences could not stand in the way of a common political objective.
“But we have come to the realization that William Ruto is an existential threat to this country. And therefore, the task of removing him from office, because he’s an existential threat, does not allow room for sentiment,” he said.
Sifuna made the remarks during an appearance alongside Gachagua at the second edition of the Gema Watho Extravaganza at Thika Greens Golf Club on Saturday night, where the former Deputy President called for unity in defending Kenya’s constitutional order ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Gachagua described their engagement as part of a broader liberation effort, declaring that they remained “one team: WANTAM”.
The meeting comes as Sifuna positions the Linda Mwananchi Movement as a political vehicle for mobilising opposition support ahead of the next election.
The movement has also pledged to prioritize constitutionalism, human rights, equality and accountability in public spending.
For Edwin Sifuna he worships this thief who grabbed Sh. 7.4 billion from Kenyans as his boss and he is talking about fighting corruption and bringing accountability in public spending.

In the meantime there are some opposition leader meetings and Sifuna is nowhere to be seen in there. The dream team is going nowhere. Talk about desperation and just being clueless for the opposition.
