Ruto: 2027 election will be a vote against tribalism, marginalisation
The President said his administration remained focused on service delivery and bringing development to all parts of the country.
President William Ruto has declared that the upcoming 2027 General Election will serve as a platform for Kenyans to vote against tribalism, marginalisation, and divisive politics. Addressing an audience in Migori County during his development tour in Nyanza, Ruto emphasized that the election would focus on inclusivity, unity, and an equitable distribution of resources.
He reiterated his administration's commitment to service delivery, highlighting investments in infrastructure such as roads, water, electricity, agriculture, education, and affordable housing across the country.
Ruto's Broad-Based Government, comprising the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), aims to promote national cohesion and eliminate discrimination, hatred, and exclusion in development. He accused political opponents of promoting tribalism and division, asserting that his government remains focused on prioritising development and national unity.
Ruto criticised former President Uhuru Kenyatta for allegedly sponsoring opposition politicians to undermine his administration, comparing them to "puppets" and "people on hire."
During his visit to Migori, Ruto unveiled several infrastructure projects, including the 32-kilometre Kanyawanga-Kwoyo-Madiaba-Dede-Odongo Oher-Rapogi-Awendo road, which will enhance connectivity and access to markets and essential services. The KSh2.25 billion project is part of the KSh19 billion investment in new roads in Migori County.
The President also reported that 82,000 households in Migori County have been connected to electricity, bringing the access rate to 82 percent, with an additional KSh2.3 billion allocated for connecting 21,000 more homes over the next financial year.
