06.09.2026 ⇢ The day Gachagua floated the Sifuna ticket
⌨
The day's dominant story was Rigathi Gachagua's proposal to deputize Edwin Sifuna in a 2027 coalition against President Ruto, covered by multiple outlets from morning to evening. This political maneuvering overshadowed other developments, including President Ruto's announcement to stop exporting unprocessed minerals and Bishop Margaret Wanjiru's Nairobi governor bid. Earlier, the UN agreement on lethal autonomous weapons and State House spending drew attention, but Gachagua's gambit remained the editorial priority, reflecting the media's focus on 2027 election alignments.
