President William Ruto has dismissed critics suggesting that he will only serve one term, expressing gratitude for the opportunity to lead the nation.
Speaking on Sunday, January 12, during a church service at Dagoretti North, Nairobi, President Ruto remarked that many people initially doubted he would ever become president.
The Head of State attributed his leadership to divine intervention, stating that, despite his humble beginnings and background, God entrusted him with the responsibility to govern the country.
“There are people who are talking about one term, two terms, three terms. I want to tell them that previously there were people who didn't think I would have any term. But who is God? I’m happy that God has given me this opportunity to lead the nation.
“I was a humble person who was not known and my family was not known. I am a very proud president of Kenya. And I want to tell you that there is work God has given me to do in this country and I will do it,” President Ruto stated.

He further called on Kenyans to unite in building the nation, maintaining that only one man or region cannot do it.
The president's remarks come after he claimed that his primary competitor in the 2027 General Election will be his government's track record.
Speaking on January 9, the president affirmed that there was no need for threats, highlighting that the country's economy is performing well due to the initiatives implemented by his administration.
"I want to ask my fellow leaders to work together. The day for politics will come. There is no need to threaten each other. Cheap threats have no meaning. When the day comes for politics, let everyone come with their agenda," President Ruto remarked.
