Ruto Seeks Supreme Court Judge Njoki Ndung’u for ICC Bench

President William Ruto is attempting to secure a position for Supreme Court Judge Njoki Ndung'u on the International Criminal Court bench, a move political analysts say could face significant challenges. This effort comes as part of what reports describe as a calculated strategy to weaken the opposition, particularly the Orange Democratic Movement, ahead of the 2027 General Election. Meanwhile, opposition figures are reportedly preparing to form a strong coalition to challenge Ruto's administration. A new TIFA poll reveals a highly competitive and fragmented electoral landscape, with no candidate currently projected to win the 50+1 threshold in the first round. Separately, Cabinet Secretary John Mbadi has come under fire from the Odinga family after questioning the current whereabouts of the late Raila Odinga.
