In a recent social media post, Ngunyi analyzed the growing political cooperation between Fred Matiang'i, Rigathi Gachagua, and Kalonzo Musyoka, a trio that has recently attracted attention in opposition political circles.
According to Ngunyi, the alliance—popularly dubbed the "Coalition of Cousins" following Gachagua's light-hearted reference to the three leaders as "cousins"—could potentially command approximately 9.6 million votes drawn from regions that have historically played a decisive role in presidential elections.
Despite acknowledging the potential strength of the emerging coalition, Ngunyi argued that President William Ruto may still enjoy a numerical advantage. He contended that Ruto's support is spread across numerous communities and regions, creating a broader coalition that could account for more than 14 million votes.
The analyst's comments have fueled discussions about whether future elections will be determined by traditional regional voting blocs or by broader cross-country coalitions capable of attracting support from diverse communities.
The "cousins" narrative gained traction after Gachagua jokingly used the term during a public event, prompting supporters to embrace the nickname "Cuzo" as a symbol of the growing political relationship between the three leaders.
