Democratic Party (DP) leader Justin Muturi has pulled back the curtain on the coalition’s internal mechanics, revealing that a roadmap for selecting a presidential flagbearer has been in play for months.
During a candid sit-down on Herman Manyora today, the former Attorney General dropped a significant detail, the first draft regarding the selection process was actually handed over to the coalition's top principals four months ago.
This suggests that while political pundits were busy speculating about potential rifts or a lack of direction, the opposition's technical team was quietly crunching numbers and refining criteria behind closed doors.
This isn't just a casual agreement, it’s a structured, data-driven approach designed to prevent the usual last-minute scramble that often plagues political alliances.
One of the most reassuring takeaways from Muturi’s update is the emphasis on inclusivity.
To avoid the big brother syndrome where smaller parties feel sidelined, the technical committee was intentionally built with representatives from every constituent party.
"We have ensured every voice within the united opposition is heard," Muturi noted, highlighting that the draft isn't a top-down mandate but a collective effort.
The existence of this draft means the opposition is moving out of the discussion phase and into the decision phase.
By establishing a representative technical team, they are attempting to build a selection process that is transparent where each party knows the why behind the final choice.
Secondly, defensible. Decisions are based on the technical team's framework rather than ego. With the draft already circulating for months, a formal announcement could be closer than we think.
