Kenya: 'I Campaigned for You in 1992' - Ruto Tells Kalonzo to Back His 2027 Re-Election
[Capital FM] Nairobi -- President William Ruto has challenged Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to shelve his presidential ambitions and support his re-election bid in 2027, arguing that the former Vice President should return the political favour he received from him more than three decades ago.
President William Ruto has urged Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka to support his re-election bid in 2027, reminding him of his own political favor he received from Ruto twenty-five years ago. During a campaign visit to Mwingi in 1992, Ruto campaigned for Musyoka, who went on to win the Mwingi North parliamentary seat under the KANU party.
Ruto appealed to Musyoka to return the favor as the country prepares for the upcoming election. He also pointed out that Deputy President Kithure Kindiki had supported him in the 2007 presidential race, asking why Musyoka should not do the same now. Ruto further warned that opposition leaders were preparing to subject Musyoka to another political test similar to the one he faced before the 2022 General Election.
