Farouk Kibet, a close aide to President William Ruto, has endorsed National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula as the likely successor to Ruto in the 2032 presidential election. Kibet made the announcement during a support event for BUCOE SACCO held at St Francis Milima Comprehensive School in Likuyani Constituency, Kakamega County, where Western Kenyan leaders voiced their backing for Wetang'ula's presidential aspirations.
Kibet praised Wetang'ula's national leadership experience, political acumen, and extensive tenure as speaker, arguing that these qualities make him the ideal candidate to succeed Ruto. The two shared the stage to campaign for Ruto's re-election, with Wetang'ula pledging to continue the administration's commitment to equitable development across the country.
This includes measures such as cheaper fertiliser for the sugarcane sector, enhanced market access for produce, and the completion of infrastructure projects that started under previous governments. Wetang'ula also emphasized the need for national unity and denounced the rise of goonism, warning it could jeopardize elections and national security.
At the event, Western Kenya leaders called for Wetang'ula to lead the region in the 2032 election, with Likuyani MP Innocent Mugabe and Navakholo MP Emanuel Wangwe highlighting Ruto's development achievements and urging Kenyans to support his re-election.
