The latest report from Sunday Nation, found on page 4, reveals that former President Uhuru Kenyatta is currently strategizing a political game plan that could potentially shake up the upcoming 2027 polls. The newspaper discloses that there are talks within the ODM party suggesting that Kenyatta is exploring various ticket combinations to ensure the defeat of his predecessor in the next presidential election. This move indicates a significant shift in the political landscape of Kenya, with potential implications for the future leadership of the country.
Sources within the ODM party have hinted at the possibility of former President Kenyatta teaming up his brother, Muhoho Kenyatta, with a member of the opposition alliance to form a formidable presidential ticket for the 2027 polls. Additionally, there are reports of Kenyatta reaching out to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga to consider forming a presidential ticket with Muhoho Kenyatta, potentially altering the dynamics of the upcoming election.
