Uhuru hits back at Ruto: Kenyans will choose their president in 2027

Retired President Uhuru Kenyatta addressed supporters during a memorial service for former Vice-President Michael Kijana Wamalwa, reaffirming that Kenyans will decide the next president in the 2027 general election. He emphasized that voters have the freedom to choose any candidate, including himself, but clarified he has no intention of returning to active politics. Uhuru dismissed claims by President William Ruto and his allies that he is funding opposition figures, stating these accusations are unfounded. Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, whom Uhuru praised during the speech, denied the allegations, asserting that the Linda Mwananchi movement is supported by ordinary citizens rather than being sponsored by Uhuru. The remarks come amid heightened political tensions ahead of the 2027 election.
