Speaking on
September 6, former Deputy President Gachagua praised 44-year-old Sifuna's
clean record and urged him to pursue the top spot if he can rally the coalition
against President William Ruto.
He emphasized opposition unity with one candidate, open to pairings like himself atop the ticket or with Sifuna or Kalonzo Musyoka, blending youth and experience based on voter math.
Gachagua tied support to conditions, saying he'd shift if certain figures join the opposition, while reactions celebrate the endorsement but question Mt Kenya voter turnout.
