Mutahi Ngunyi forecasts a resounding victory for Ruto in 2027

Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has refuted claims that President William Ruto will only serve one term, stating instead that Ruto is on track for a decisive victory in the 2027 elections, a “landslide win.”

As the 2027 elections draw nearer and various politicians declare their presidential ambitions, Ngunyi dismissed the notion that Ruto won’t seek re-election as wishful thinking. He argued that criticism directed at President Ruto, often labeled as lies or unfulfilled promises, represents the genuine aspirations of a sincere leader.

Ngunyi expressed his perspective, stating, “And for the record: Those saying that Ruto will be a one-term President are daydreamers. In 2027, Ruto will win with a landslide. I do not know how. But the trends are obvious to the objective eye. What you are calling lies are the dreams of a sincere man. And God will grant them.”

President Ruto has faced criticism for unfulfilled campaign promises and public dissatisfaction with the state of the country, including the high cost of living, heavy taxation, youth unemployment, and corruption. Ngunyi, however, remains optimistic about Ruto’s leadership and future electoral success.

Having previously served as a political advisor to retired President Uhuru Kenyatta, Ngunyi switched allegiance to President Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza Alliance camp just before the August 2022 general elections. This move surprised many, given his previous association with Kenyatta, who supported Raila Odinga’s presidential bid.
