President William Ruto has enlisted key political rivals, including former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, former President Uhuru Kenyatta, and former Senator Gideon Moi, for an ambitious plan to transform Kenya into a first-world country by 2055.

• The vision aims to elevate Kenya from a third-world country within the next 30 years, emphasizing collaboration across political divides.
• President Ruto dismissed critics, stating that national unity and putting aside political differences are crucial for achieving first-world status.
• He highlighted progress in healthcare, housing, and infrastructure, noting health insurance coverage expanded from 7 million to 26.7 million Kenyans.

Former Senior Advisor to President William Ruto, Moses Kuria, has offered a conditional truce to Democracy for the Citizens' Party (DCP) leader Rigathi Gachagua, aiming to end their political rivalry. The condition for this reconciliation is that Gachagua must immediately cease disrespecting leaders and women, particularly those from the Mt Kenya region.

• Moses Kuria acknowledged Rigathi Gachagua's rapidly growing influence and referred to him as the undisputed kingpin of the Mt Kenya region.
• The condition for a truce is Gachagua stopping insults against leaders, especially women, following a viral video where he criticized Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru.
• This offer comes amidst a heated supremacy battle for votes in the Mt Kenya region in the run-up to the 2027 general elections.

Oburu Odinga, brother to Raila Odinga, has announced that the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) supports KANU's inclusion into the governing coalition, dismissing concerns it threatens Raila's political standing. This comes after President William Ruto confirmed on Friday, October 9, that KANU, led by Gideon Moi, agreed to join the Kenya Kwanza Alliance.

• Oburu Odinga urged Kenyans to register as voters for the "broad-based government's" success ahead of the 2027 General Elections.
• Oburu Odinga stated ODM is open to working with other parties that aim to unite the country.
• President Ruto initiated the alliance with Gideon Moi to unite Kenyans and foster development in education, healthcare, and infrastructure.

President William Ruto has subtly responded to former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's criticism regarding his engagement with KANU party leader Gideon Moi. Speaking on Sunday, October 12, Ruto affirmed his commitment to uniting leaders nationwide behind his economic transformation strategy, despite being accused of double standards.

• Ruto claims he has engaged with 80 percent of Members of Parliament, including former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and former President Uhuru Kenyatta, to explain his vision.
• The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) leader Gachagua, speaking on Saturday, October 11, slammed Ruto's alliance with Moi, alleging it was meant to isolate the Mount Kenya Region.
• Gachagua accused Ruto of hypocrisy, stating that when Kalenjins unite it is called unity, but similar efforts in Mount Kenya are labeled tribalism.
