Allies of President William Ruto have accused former President Uhuru Kenyatta of allegedly funding new political figures in Western Kenya in an effort to divide the region's vote and undermine Ruto's re-election chances in 2027.

• Key accusers include Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale, National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang'ula, and Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa.
• The alleged political scheme is attributed to envy over the Kenya Kwanza administration's development project distribution.
• The accusations suggest a strategic move to weaken President Ruto's support base in the Western Kenya region.
