A group of Kenya Kwanza Members of Parliament predicts that President William Ruto stands a strong chance of winning the 2027 presidential election without significant opposition. These MPs argue that recent political maneuvers by President Ruto indicate a strategic effort to expand his political influence into territories traditionally aligned with his rivals, thereby bolstering his prospects for the 2027 polls.
Machakos MP Caleb Mule asserts that Ruto’s pledge to support Raila Odinga’s bid for the AU job is a calculated move aimed at winning over Odinga’s supporters and solidifying his own re-election bid in 2027.
Emurrua Dikirr MP Johana Ng’eno suggests that Ruto intends to reduce political tensions nationwide to foster an environment conducive to development.
Manyatta MP Mukunji Gitonga and Laikipia Woman Representative Jane Kagiri share similar sentiments, indicating that Ruto’s strategy is aimed at calming political divisions and positioning himself for success in the 2027 elections.
Raila Odinga’s announcement of his candidacy for the AU Commission chairperson’s position has sparked excitement in Kenya Kwanza while causing concern in Odinga’s strongholds.
