Ruto Wraps Up Three-Day Tour of Kajiado With Development Projects
President William Ruto concluded a three-day tour of Kajiado County by commissioning and announcing numerous development projects, while making political overtures in a region traditionally leaning towards the opposition. The tour sparked a political storm, with allies of Governor Joseph Ole Lenku alleging it was strategically used to undermine the governor and promote UDA party interests. Meanwhile, Ruto's administration is deploying technocrats to the Mt Kenya region to bolster support for his 2027 re-election bid by highlighting government achievements and countering misinformation.
Western MPs Set Terms For Backing Ruto in 2027

A new poll by Bobea Report indicates President William Ruto would lead if elections were held today, but the race for 2027 remains open with a significant number of undecided voters.
