Eliud Owalo has declared his intention to run for president in the 2027 general elections, positioning himself to challenge President William Ruto. Hours after his announcement, Owalo resigned from his role as Deputy Chief of Staff in Ruto's administration, stating his presidential bid made his position untenable. The declaration was dismissed by Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo as "hot air" and "politically unrealistic" without major party backing. Meanwhile, President William Ruto began a tour of the Mt Kenya region, where he challenged the opposition for the 2027 elections, stating it will be a contest of records.
