Kenyans will vote leaders based on track record, Ruto says

President William Ruto has stated that Kenyans will vote based on a leader's development record, dismissing ethnic political groupings. He emphasized that all elected officials must work towards national unity. At a recent address in Uasin Gishu County, Ruto called for Kenyans to reject tribal politics and prioritize the national interest above ethnic considerations.

He highlighted Kenya's progress through peaceful coexistence and respect for democratic competition, noting that the country's future depends on leaders and citizens working together. Ruto criticized a leader who failed to deliver on key projects such as affordable housing, healthcare, and education, warning potential rivals to come up with their own development agendas.

He also inspected various government projects, including modern markets and stadium construction, and assured Kenyans that the next election will be free, fair, and peaceful.
