Boniface Mwangi: “Ruto Will Be A One-Term President”

Boniface Mwangi is a Kenyan activist who wears many hats. He’s a photojournalist known for capturing the violence that erupted after Kenya’s 2007 election. He’s also a politician and a social activist who founded Team Courage to fight for justice and equality for ordinary Kenyans. Recently, in June 2024, there were news reports of him being caught in the middle of protests against the Finance Bill.

He did an interview afterwards expressing his thoughts on Ruto’s position after the whole fiasco:

“What I know for a fact is that, if Ruto survives this week, and this year… he’s a one term president. The events of this week are unforgivable.”

The interviewer was shocked that Boniface spoke with such certainty, to which he added:

“The people have spoken, and so I don’t think that he’s going to come back. You know, the truth is he ran on a platform of hustlers. Give them jobs, they don’t have jobs. He’s overtaxing them. He’s taken away healthcare. He’s taken away their education. There is nothing that is actually working in this country. And so unless a miracle happens, he is a one-term president.”

Powerful words from one of Kenya’s most prolific protestors. To see the interview in it’s entirety, watch the interview below:
