Opposition begins Western Kenya tour, targets 2027 election support

The United Opposition has kicked off its long-weekend tour of the Western Kenya region in a bid to rally support from the vote-rich area ahead of next year’s general election. The opposition alliance accused top government leaders from the region of exploiting residents for their own political and personal gain. As Emily Chebet reports, the leaders, who began their tour in Vihiga County, expressed confidence in their growing support base, saying they have the numbers needed to send the current government home in the 2027 polls.
