National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has suggested that his support for President William Ruto in the 2027 general elections is not guaranteed.
While Wetang’ula has previously urged the Luhya community to rally behind Ruto’s re-election bid, emphasizing unity and voter registration, he has also warned Western Kenya leaders against disunity, stressing the region’s risk of losing bargaining power without cohesion.
In a recent development, Wetang’ula declared his presidential ambition, affirming his interest in succeeding President Ruto as the sixth president of Kenya.
These statements indicate Wetang’ula’s strategic positioning as he navigates the political landscape ahead of the 2027 elections.
His calls for unity and his presidential aspirations suggest a potential shift in alliances and a focus on strengthening the Luhya community’s influence in national politics.
As 2027 approaches, all eyes will be on Wetang’ula and other key leaders, whose decisions and endorsements could significantly shape Kenya’s electoral landscape and the balance of power in the next government.
