Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka is confident that the opposition will defeat President William Ruto by more than 70 percent in the 2027 General Election. He made this prediction during a recent interview on Monday, August 10, 2026, stating that Kenyans are dissatisfied with the Ruto administration and are seeking a change of government.
Kalonzo believes the 2027 election could resemble the 2002 election, when Kenyans overwhelmingly voted against the KANU administration, leading to Mwai Kibaki becoming president. He urged the opposition to remain united and work together to challenge the Ruto administration, emphasizing that unity would be crucial for delivering a decisive political change.
Despite recent opinion polls showing that none of the leading presidential contenders have crossed the 50 percent plus one threshold to win the presidency, Kalonzo remains optimistic, stating that the opposition could still secure an overwhelming victory once the campaign gains momentum. The Wiper leader urged opposition figures to put aside their individual ambitions and focus on a common objective to challenge the current administration.
