Munya spurns Wamunyoro venue, pushes neutral site for opposition unity talks

Peter Munya rejected Rigathi Gachagua’s Wamunyoro home as a venue for opposition unity talks, demanding a neutral site instead for building a united 2027 front. Munya said national decisions cannot be made in a private house. Wamunyoro has hosted opposition meetings, including Gachagua’s consultations and talks with Jimi Wanjigi. The dispute reflects divisions over choosing a single candidate to challenge President Ruto. Gachagua began 45-day consultations in June and urged smaller Mt Kenya parties to join his DCP. Munya, Justin Muturi and Lenny Kivuti rejected that, seeking an inclusive structure.
