President Ruto calls opposition a nuisance, urges Kenyans to ignore political rhetoric - June 2026

President William Ruto has labeled the united opposition a 'nuisance' to Kenyans, asserting that their frequent public criticism lacks constructive policy alternatives. At the same time, Kenya Kwanza leaders have accused the opposition coalition of misleading citizens instead of addressing the nation's challenges, urging Kenyans to focus on development. The united opposition, led by Rigathi Gachagua and Kalonzo Musyoka, is actively campaigning in Western Kenya with the explicit aim of unseating President Ruto in the August 2027 General Election, intensifying their tour and reaffirming unity ahead of the polls.
