Ruto's plot to weaken the opposition

As Kenya gears up for the 2027 General Election, President William Ruto is reportedly implementing a strategy to consolidate power by weakening the opposition, primarily targeting the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party. An ODM retreat intended to strategize engagement with President Ruto's administration has reportedly devolved into internal disputes within the party. Murang'a Governor Irungu Kang'ata is being scrutinized for his political trajectory, with critics debating whether he is a tactical politician or an opportunist given his consistent electoral success since 2002.
