President William Ruto and party leader Oburu Oginga are leading a Broad-Based Coalition meeting in Naivasha, bringing together government officials, lawmakers, and governors. Ruto stated that the coalition is committed to unifying Kenyans, advancing the country's development goals, and addressing immediate needs. Despite political competition, such as between the ODM and UDA parties, Ruto emphasized that they have set aside differences for the sake of the nation.

He urged members of the coalition to prioritize the well-being of the Kenyan people over personal interests. The President highlighted the Broad-Based Government's successes, attributing them to difficult decisions made by leaders.
