Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has warned that opposition parties underestimate the difficulty of overthrowing President William Ruto and securing the presidency in the 2027 elections. During a meeting with UDA grassroots members in Busia County, Mudavadi emphasized that winning the presidency requires more than just slogans and visiting multiple counties for photo opportunities.
He highlighted President Ruto's popularity due to his progressive policies, strong development record, and national unity. Mudavadi criticized the opposition for attempting to divide the country through ethnic statements and propaganda, as well as for boasting about visiting five counties as an indicator of their presidential aspirations.
He stressed that Article 138 of the Constitution requires a candidate to receive more than half of the votes cast in the election, along with at least 25% of the votes in more than half of the counties (24 out of 47). Mudavadi emphasized the unity between UDA and ODM under Broad-Based Government arrangements as the winning formula for the 2027 presidential election.
He revealed that President Ruto would chair a joint UDA-ODM parliamentary meeting in Naivasha to outline a new roadmap for the nation's future. Mudavadi challenged the opposition to consider the votes garnered by Ruto and Odinga in the 2022 general election and ponder the results if the unity between UDA and ODM holds in the upcoming polls.
He predicted a shocking margin of victory for President Ruto in the 2027 General Election and called on Kenyans to turn out in large numbers to vote for Ruto's second term.
