Rift Emerges in DAP-K as Senator Khalwale Signals Alliance With Natembeya and President Ruto

The Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) has plunged into fresh conflict following signals that Senator Boni Khalwale may cooperate with Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya and President William Ruto in the run-up to 2027.

Khalwale’s remarks, interpreted as openness to cross-party collaboration, have unsettled party loyalists who view the move as disloyal and potentially harmful to the party’s cohesion.

Insiders say the development has exposed simmering divisions within DAP-K, with some members accusing the senator of collusion with rival political camps. Others warn that the move could weaken the party’s positioning ahead of the next general election.

The growing tension highlights broader realignments already taking shape as Kenyan political players position themselves for the 2027 political landscape.
