Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has publicly urged opposition leaders to abandon their individual presidential bids and rally behind a single candidate, arguing that Kenyans have already made up their minds to remove President William Ruto from power in the August 2027 general election.

Kenyatta delivered the message on Tuesday during the funeral service of his cousin, Beatrice Wambui Muturi, held at PCEA Nairobi West Church in Lang'ata, Nairobi. He addressed the gathering of opposition figures directly, naming Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, and DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa by name.

"We should be concerned about the future of our country, not the past. I am telling my brothers Kalonzo, Rigathi Gachagua, and Eugene that only one person can sit in that seat at a time," Kenyatta said.
