The opposition, under Gachagua's increasing influence, claims it is fully prepared and has its sights set firmly on forming Kenya's next government.
Speaking at his DCP party headquarters in Nairobi, the former DP has not minced his words.
Gachagua has noted that, in his view, President Ruto will be a one-term president.
He has asserted that 2027 will mark the Head of State's time to retire due to what Gachagua describes as the failed implementation of the manifesto given to Kenyans during the last election cycle.
Gachagua has been seen aggressively rallying political support across the country, suggesting that the current administration has neglected key areas of economic reform and citizen welfare.
He has repeatedly criticized the high cost of living, arguing that the government has not delivered on its promise to lower taxes and increase employment opportunities.
His defiance represents a significant challenge to the unity of the ruling coalition, bringing to the forefront simmering political tensions.
The opposition chief's declaration, widely reported by media outlets including NTV Kenya, has effectively kicked off the 2027 campaign trail much earlier than anticipated.
Gachagua now dares Ruto to face his opposition team, stating they have a clear vision and are ready for the ultimate prize: the presidency.
We believe this move is calculated to consolidate opposition forces and present a unified, formidable front against the president.
Kenyans have a high-stakes, intense political period ahead of them as both leaders prepare for the eagerly awaited political showdown.
