Speaking on Friday, President William Ruto gave a strong warning to the opposition leaders. He said if they continue insulting him and other elected leaders from the Kenya Kwanza (KK) team, they should not expect to be voted in again in the 2027 elections.
“You cannot insult people every day and then ask for their votes later. Kenyans are watching,” Ruto said.
In his speech, Ruto said he has been listening to many opposition politicians who keep attacking him and other leaders without good reason. He said he feels sorry for them because they are wasting time.
“When 2027 comes, I will show Kenyans the roads, hospitals, and other projects I have done. What will those shouting at me show?” Ruto asked.
The president also advised the opposition to stop using bad language and instead work on helping solve the problems that ordinary Kenyans are facing. He warned that if they don’t change, they will face big losses in the next election.
“Let us compete on ideas and development, not insults. They will regret it when the time comes,” he said.
