Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Petroleum, Opiyo Wandayi, urged the Nyanza region to support and vote for President William Ruto in the 2027 general elections, citing a political debt from President Ruto’s support for late Prime Minister Raila Odinga in 2007.

• CS Wandayi made these remarks during the launch of rural electrification projects in Kagito, Uriri Constituency, Migori County, on November 21, 2025.
• The Cabinet Secretary emphasized that Ruto’s support for Odinga in 2007, which led to Ruto’s Hague involvement, constitutes a debt the Luo community and Nyanza region must repay.
• Wandayi is among ODM leaders encouraging the party to back President Ruto's re-election.

ODM Secretary General Edwin Sifuna affirmed his position within the party despite a founders' meeting convened by President William Ruto, an event Sifuna had been warned about.

• Sifuna confirmed his role on November 21, 2025, during an engagement in Bomachoge Borabu Constituency, Kisii County.
• President Ruto hosted the ODM founders' dinner on November 16, 2025, in Mombasa.
• The meeting occurred after President Ruto had warned Sifuna on April 12, 2025, that he would call for such a gathering to discipline the Nairobi Senator.
• Sifuna previously clarified ODM's stance on October 27, 2025, that the party would remain in the broad-based government until 2027.

Kenya's Prime Cabinet Secretary and Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Musalia Mudavadi, declared that the Western region is strategically positioned to produce President William Ruto's successor in 2032. Speaking in Malava constituency on November 21, Mudavadi asserted that the Luhya nation has its "best chance in history" to achieve the presidency.

• Mudavadi, accompanied by National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and Cabinet Secretary Wycliffe Oparanya, urged the community to support President Ruto in 2027.
• He cautioned against tribal politics, stating that such actions undermine national ambitions and linked the Western region's future to Ruto's administration.
• Mudavadi also assured maximum security for voters in the upcoming November 27 by-elections, dismissing opposition claims of planned disruptions.
