Ruto accuses Uhuru of financing opposition ahead of 2027 - August 2026

President William Ruto has accused retired President Uhuru Kenyatta of secretly financing the opposition and mobilizing against the current administration. This rare public attack marks a significant escalation in political tensions between the two leaders. In a separate development, Ruto's UDA party is losing ground as politicians switch sides and new alliances emerge ahead of the 2027 election. Additionally, Kindiki and Mudavadi have been sidelined as Ruto's manifesto team takes shape, indicating internal party restructuring and positioning for the upcoming electoral cycle.
