Broad-based government leaders dismiss Uhuru's alleged move to oust Ruto

The leaders have, however, dismissed the alleged efforts, insisting that they will not succeed in sending Ruto home, while urging the former Head of State to keep off active politics, arguing that his time in office had come to an end.

Speaking during a church service at Raliew Catholic Church in Rarieda Sub-County, the leaders led by Nyaribare Chache MP Zaheer Jhanda and Rarieda MP, who is also ODM Party Vice Chairperson Otiende Amollo, challenged Uhuru to respect his retirement from active politics.

"Leave President Ruto alone. When you had the chance you failed this country. Today we are witnessing a phenomenal transformation. Every place is a construction site," MP Jhanda said.

"We have resolved that we will give our votes to William Ruto because he has shown friendship when Raila was alive and after he died," MP Omollo added.

The leaders also took aim at the opposition, accusing it of lacking a clear agenda and development blueprint to steer the country forward, while predicting a humiliating defeat in the forthcoming August 2027 General Election.

They further used the occasion to reaffirm their support for the broad-based government, pledging to rally behind President Ruto's re-election bid for a second term.
