We Must Win the 2027 General Election - President Ruto

President William Ruto now says the broad-based camp must win the 2027 General Election.

The Head of State made the remarks on Monday, August 10, during a joint broad-based parliamentary group meeting in Naivasha, Nakuru County. 

President Ruto argued that the broad-based team must secure victory, not for the benefit of individual leaders, but for the sake of the country.

“We must win the next election. By God's grace, we must win the next election, Insha'Allah. Not for your sake but for the sake of Kenya, because the alternative is difficult to fathom,” Ruto said.

President Ruto warned that losing the election to the united opposition would be dangerous for the country.

“We have no choice because the alternative, I shudder. A group of people who have no plan, no agenda, no policy, no vision is too dangerous for Kenya,” he stated.

The President called on members of the broad-based camp to accommodate one another ahead of the 2027 general election. 

At the same time, Ruto hinted at the possibility of ODM and UDA forming a broad-based coalition which they will use to seek power in 2027. 

“Azimio was a coalition, so what is the problem? Will broad-based become another miracle? It will become a coalition, just as we have done others, and we will agree on how we will move forward together,” Ruto said.

Further, he assured broad-based supporters that UDA and ODM have leaders with experience needed to structure and sustain a coalition. 

“People should not worry. We are the experts in these things, and we have enough experts to make it work. We will build this thing, and it will become a government,” he added. 

This comes days after Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka declared that he is ready to support Edwin Sifuna if he is picked as the opposition flagbearer in the 2027 General Election. 

Speaking during an interview on Monday, August 10, Kalonzo said he has no problem supporting the Nairobi Senator. 

The former vice president also said he is sure that Sifuna will support him if he is picked as the opposition flagbearer. 

Besides Sifuna, Kalonzo also said he is ready to support former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. 

“I have no problem supporting Sifuna at all. I am also quite sure that Sifuna has no problem supporting me either. I have no problem supporting Gachagua; I stood with him at the hour of need during his impeachment,” said Kalonzo.
