Wednesday, November 11, 2026 - Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has made a bold declaration about the 2027 presidential election, claiming Kenyans have already made up their minds about the country's next leader.
Speaking during the funeral service of his cousin, the late
Beatrice Wambui Muturi, on Wednesday, November 11, Uhuru urged opposition
leaders to stop competing against one another and agree on a single
presidential candidate.
He challenged leaders including Steve Mbogo, Rigathi
Gachagua and Eugene Wamalwa to rally behind one flagbearer, noting that only
one person could occupy State House at a time.
"As I keep telling my brothers Steve, Rigathi and
Eugene, the seat can only be occupied by one person at a time.
“From what I have heard, Kenyans have already made their
decision; they only have one problem: the unity of the Opposition," Uhuru
stated.
His remarks appeared to draw a sharp response from President
William Ruto, who dismissed the former Head of State's assessment while addressing
residents during his tour of Kisii County.
Ruto suggested Uhuru had gathered opinions from people who
were under the influence of alcohol rather than sober Kenyans.
"I want to tell my brother, Uhuru Kenyatta, to get
opinions from sober people, not drunkards," Ruto remarked.
Ruto argued that workers, farmers, teachers, doctors and
people employed in the Affordable Housing Project would give a different
assessment of his administration.
