Mudavadi Accuses Opposition of Plot to Discredit IEBC, Rallies Western to Back Ruto

Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has accused the opposition of plotting to discredit the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and urged Western Kenya leaders to rally behind President William Ruto for the 2027 General Election. Separately, Mudavadi has warned that opposition attacks on the IEBC threaten the credibility of the 2027 General Election, claiming opposition leaders are undermining public confidence in the electoral process. Meanwhile, Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has dismissed the large crowds seen at opposition rallies as an unreliable indicator of voting intentions, telling young politicians they should not chest-thump because of crowds, emphasizing that actual votes are what truly matter.
