Amid growing political realignments ahead of the 2027 general elections, key opposition figures have intensified consultations and strategic engagements across party lines.
Recent months have witnessed increased speculation over possible defections and coalition-building efforts, particularly involving influential political actors seeking to reposition themselves within emerging platforms.
