Former Chief Justice David Maraga has joined the Linda Mwananchi coalition, strengthening the opposition's efforts ahead of the 2027 general elections. Maraga expressed his readiness to collaborate with leaders including Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Siaya Governor James Orengo, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, and Vihiga Senator Godfrey Osotsi to ensure the removal of President William Ruto from power in the upcoming elections. His remarks were made during political meetings in Kisii, Keumbu, and Keroka.

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has been removed from the Senate Energy Committee, which is chaired by ODM Party Leader Oburu Odinga, following a reshuffle of standing committees announced by the Senate on June 17. Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot provided the update and introduced a motion to reconstitute several Senate committees. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang has been nominated to replace Sifuna on the influential committee.

Kenyan President William Ruto has publicly rejected claims made by Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua that he was responsible for delivering votes from the Mt Kenya region in the 2022 elections. This statement comes amid rising tensions in Kenyan politics, particularly surrounding the disruption of the Linda Mwananchi rally and the lead-up to the 2027 elections, which will involve significant political figures.

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.

Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has opposed the Orange Democratic Movement's (ODM) second attempt to remove him as secretary general, claiming the process is unconstitutional and unfair. Sifuna's team stated that this decision mirrors a previous attempt he legally challenged in February. They argue that the latest move has procedural flaws and plan to take legal action against it.

Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi criticized former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for his remarks ahead of the June 25 protest anniversary, accusing him of incitement and political hypocrisy. In a video posted on June 25, 2026, Sudi claimed that Gachagua was misleading the public by discouraging protests while secretly fostering tensions in the country. He referred to Gachagua as 'Mr Quarter Term' and suggested that his actions were harmful to national peace.
