Following a recent meeting between President William Ruto and former President Uhuru Kenyatta, Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei has asserted that Ruto's re-election is now guaranteed. The meeting, which took place on Friday, August 1, has sparked considerable debate and speculation regarding its political implications.

• Senator Cherargei, a close ally of President Ruto, claimed on his official X page that the meeting signals a "smooth ride" for Ruto's second term and that the 2027 General Presidential Elections will be a "coronation ceremony."
• The two leaders met at a consultative session on the Democratic Republic of Congo peace process, where Uhuru serves as Kenya’s envoy, marking their first public interaction after years of political tension.
• Cherargei used this opportunity to advise Ruto's political opponents, including Kalonzo Musyoka, Fred Matiang’i, and Rigathi Gachagua, to "wait to run in the 2032 General Presidential Elections."
