Kalonzo Musyoka, leader of the Wiper party, has accused President William Ruto of terminating the planned construction of the Nairobi-Mombasa expressway. Kalonzo claims this decision was made to punish the Ukambani region for opposing Ruto's regime, a month after the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) announced the rejection of the deal.

• The proposed project, handed to a United States company, was a multi-billion-dollar initiative.
• Kalonzo Musyoka made these allegations on Saturday afternoon at a church service in Mututuni, Machakos County.
• KeNHA announced on August 12, 2025, that the proposal from Everstrong Capital failed to meet evaluation criteria, with the decision made by the PPP Committee on July 2, 2025, prompting a restructuring directive.

Gladys Wanga, Chairperson of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party, has stated that President William Ruto's re-election in 2027 is "highly likely" due to his strengthening alliance with ODM leader Raila Odinga.

• Wanga emphasized that the partnership between Ruto and Raila Odinga makes a second term for the President "highly likely."
• The Homa Bay Governor affirmed that ODM will campaign with President Ruto’s camp as a "united front" in the upcoming general election.
• Wanga praised President Ruto for delivering KSh 5 million per county to support women’s economic initiatives across Nyanza.
