President William Ruto is facing political challenges, with Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro publicly criticizing him for allegedly using political allies to attack former President Uhuru Kenyatta. Nyoro claims this strategy is a distraction from pressing governance issues affecting Kenyans. In a separate development posing a challenge to President Ruto's influence, his key allies are facing a perceived "rejection" in the Western region. The struggles of Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi and National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula indicate a challenge in maintaining the government's popularity among the Luhya nation. Meanwhile, President Ruto has escalated his own criticism of the opposition, targeting Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka for an alleged lack of a development track record over 40 years.
