The race for the 2027 presidential election in Kenya is intensifying, with significant behind-the-scenes efforts to select a running mate for President William Ruto. The Kenya Kwanza coalition, led by Ruto, and the opposition coalition, which includes former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and Kalonzo Musyoka, are both strategizing to find a candidate that will enhance their chances of victory. Unlike previous elections, the selection process is more complex due to shifting political alliances.

Rigathi Gachagua, the leader of the DCP party, has denied claims that he is supporting Kalonzo to challenge Ruto in the 2027 presidential race. Speaking in Nyeri, he stated that the opposition will not announce its presidential candidate early due to fears of government targeting and harassment. Gachagua indicated that the candidate will be revealed before the deadline set by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), but not hastily, allowing for an announcement anytime before May 15, 2027.

Bunge la Zimbabwe limepitisha muswada unaoweza kumruhusu Rais Emmerson Mnangagwa kuendelea madarakani hadi mwaka 2030, ukiongeza muda wa urais kutoka miaka mitano hadi saba. Muswada huo pia unashauri kuahirisha uchaguzi mkuu uliopangwa kwa mwaka 2028 hadi 2030 na kubadilisha mchakato wa uchaguzi wa rais kuwa wa wabunge badala ya wananchi. Hata hivyo, muswada huo unahitaji kupitishwa na Seneti kabla ya kuwa sheria. Wakosoaji wanasema hatua hiyo inalenga kumwezesha Mnangagwa kuendelea madarakani kwa muda mrefu zaidi.
