Tuesday, December 3, 2024 - Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has fired a warning salvo to politicians looking to unseat President William Ruto in 2027.
In a statement on X, Cherargei
claimed that opposition leader Raila Odinga will be backing Ruto for the top
seat, eliminating chances for any other Kenyan to unseat him, including Wiper
Leader Kalonzo Musyoka and Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah.
For opposition politicians to
stand a chance of surviving in the top political race, Cherargei has advised
those eying the seat to form a political coalition and join hands with Ruto.
According to Cherargei, Raila
will win the African Union Commission (AUC) chairmanship in February 2025,
consequently shelving his 2027 presidential ambitions.
“In 2027 there is only one horse
H.E. Ruto in possible combination with Tinga the rest are donkeys.”
“He will vanquish them by 10 am.
Raila shall win the African Union chairperson unopposed & in return shall
support H.E Ruto’s re-election in 2027.”
“If they are wise they should
form a coalition around HE Ruto’s candidacy,” Cherargei advised.
In 2027, Ruto is facing
opposition from activist Morara Kebaso, Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah, former Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka, and a
possibility of Narc Kenya Party Leader Martha Karua who are eying the top seat.
There have been reports that
Ruto has been losing grip in the Mt Kenya region following the impeachment of
former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.
The region was instrumental in
Ruto’s win in 2022, which saw him floor Raila with slightly over 200,000 votes.

In 1912, the owners of Titanic were so full of themselves, they stated it was unsinkable. What happened thereafter after hitting an iceberg? food for thought. In battle, Goliath insulted David due to his stature and only carrying a catapult. What played out afterwards was the slaying of the dragon. Let's not chest thump. Only God Almighty knows who will win the race come 2027.
