Opposition News: African Politics, Party Battles and Election Updates

Welcome to the opposition hub on BassaNova. Here you’ll find every story that talks about parties fighting the ruling side, power struggles inside opposition groups, and the latest moves ahead of elections. If you want to know who’s challenging the status quo in Africa, this is the place.

Key Opposition Stories You Can’t Miss

Our tag pulls together a mix of hard‑hitting pieces. For example, Edwin Sifuna warns that Kenya’s ODM could lose the 2027 presidential race if it keeps backing President Ruto – a warning that sparked heated debate within the party. In Nigeria, the funeral of former President Buhari reminded many about the legacy of a leader who faced criticism from opposition voices for his human‑rights record.

Another standout is the Kenya‑led police mission in Haiti, which, while not an African story, shows how opposition to gang control can shape international security policies. Back home, the debate over Eskom’s new rules for unregistered solar systems illustrates how opposition groups can influence energy policy and protect consumer rights.

Sports fans also see opposition drama – lower‑league clubs like Grimsby Town and Huddersfield Town pulling off shock wins against Premier League giants in the Carabao Cup, proving that underdogs can fight back in any arena.
