Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has accused opposition politicians of launching early campaigns, two years ahead of the next general election, dismissing their activities as a distraction from the development agenda.

• Kindiki stated, "Some people want to draw us into early campaigns. They are enemies of this nation because it’s not yet time for politics."
• The Deputy President expressed frustration over the opposition’s ‘Wantam’ (one term) slogan, arguing that past administrations, including those of Moi, Kibaki, and Uhuru, served two terms.
• The country appears to have entered a campaign season, with both the government and the United Opposition rallying support for candidates ahead of by-elections on November 27.
• The United Opposition, including Kalonzo Musyoka, Rigathi Gachagua, Martha Karua, and Justin Muturi, vowed unity at the Wiper Patriotic Front National Delegates Conference to challenge President Ruto.
• The upcoming duel for the Mbeere North constituency seat is seen as defining for both political outfits.
