Leaders said the decision was meant to strengthen their challenge against President William Ruto by avoiding divisions that have previously weakened opposition efforts.
During the meeting, the coalition also revealed plans to pursue legal action over an attack targeting DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua at a church in Othaya.
The leaders strongly condemned the incident, describing it as an attack on democracy, free expression, and peaceful political engagement in Kenya.
Rigathi Gachagua reaffirmed his commitment to opposition unity, stating that personal and party sacrifices would be made to ensure one candidate faces President Ruto.
He insisted that denying President Ruto a second term would only be possible through unity and disciplined collective action.
Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka echoed the unity message and announced plans to convene a national forum for leaders backing the one-term movement.
Kalonzo said the forum would also focus on boosting nationwide voter registration to improve the opposition’s electoral chances.
Former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i dismissed claims of internal rifts, warning critics that the opposition leadership remains firmly united.
Matiang’i emphasized that those expecting divisions would be disappointed, as leaders had agreed to stand together throughout the campaign.
Narc-Kenya leader Martha Karua said the coalition was driven by shared values of constitutionalism, accountability, and good governance.
DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa stressed that unity was not optional, arguing that only one candidate could prevent vote splitting.
Former Attorney General Justin Muturi concluded by saying Kenyans were politically aware and ready for change, urging leaders to rise to the occasion.
