Editor's Review
Uhuru argued that Kenyans had made up their minds about 2027, and the bark stopped with the United Opposition.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has rallied leaders in the United Opposition to stick together ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Speaking during the funeral service of his cousin, the late Beatrice Wambui Muturi, on Wednesday, November 11, Uhuru claimed Kenyans had already made up their minds and that the missing piece of the puzzle was the United Opposition naming its candidate.

He said only one person can occupy the top seat at a time and asked the leaders to decide on their flagbearer and throw their weight behind the candidate.
"As I keep telling my brothers Steve, Rigathi and Eugene, the seat can only be occupied by one person at a time. From what I have heard, Kenyans have already made their decision; they only have one problem: the unity of the Opposition.

"With a lot of respect, organise yourselves and unite to give Kenyans what they want. Work together for a better, prosperous, peaceful Kenya. That is what we desire, and that is what you will deliver to us, and with justice," Uhuru reiterated.
While delivering his address at the service, Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) Leader Rigathi Gachagua said he has a cordial relationship with Kenya's fourth President.
Gachagua claimed some individuals tried to create a rift between them but failed miserably.
"I have worked with this family for more than 17 years. In between, the devil came in between us and tried to divide us, but as you can see, we are still together," he said.
The former DP said he spent Ksh1.5 million meant for Uhuru's presidential campaign in the 2017 repeat election. He said that he tried to refund the money for nearly a decade unsuccessfully.
In response, Uhuru teased that he would not let it slide, and promised to visit Gachagua's Wamunyoro home for a 'reimbursement'.
