President William Ruto has concluded his tour of Murang'a County, a visit marked by a mixed reception from local leaders with indications of internal party disagreements and less than unwavering support. President William Ruto's recent visit to Tharaka Nithi has brought to light significant political divisions within the region, signaling potential challenges ahead of the 2027 elections. Edwin Sifuna, Secretary-General of the Orange Democratic Movement, issued a strong statement urging those who are not ready to step aside for those who are, while the ODM Linda Mwananchi faction explicitly rejected any possibility of Ruto securing re-election.
