Kenya: Ruto calls for end to ‘unfair’ 2027 election campaigns

Nyeri — Stop focusing on the 2027 elections and devote time to serving the people, President William Ruto has told leaders.

The president said it was unfair to engage Kenyans in campaigns three years before the next general elections.

He asked the leaders to dedicate their time to providing services to the people and fulfilling the commitments they made to voters in 2022, adding that 2027 will be decided by the voters.

“Let us focus on delivering on the commitments we made to the Kenyan people and not on how to win the next election,” he said.

President Ruto made the remarks while launching the African Independent Pentecostal Church in Africa (AIPCA) West Central Archdiocese at the Ngangarithi Primary School grounds in Nyeri, Nyeri County.

The President also called on the leaders to put aside their political differences and work together to advance the country’s development agenda.

“Let us use this opportunity to build our nation, plan development projects such as roads, water, education, health, employment, housing and markets,” he said.

Transformation plan

He stressed that the government wants to transform Kenya into a country that every Kenyan will be proud of.

“I am convinced that we will make this country a great country,” he said.

The President said the government would support the families of those who lost children at Hillside Endarasha Academy. Students who lost their belongings will also benefit from government assistance.

“Once the investigation is complete, we will look at ways to help the school so it can continue to educate children,” he said.

On the bilateral labour agreement between Kenya and Germany signed in Berlin on Friday, the president said it provides employment opportunities to many Kenyans.
