ODM leaders in government will support Ruto in 2027 - CS Wandayi
Energy Cabinet Secretary Opiyo Wandayi has stated that ODM leaders currently serving within President William Ruto’s government intend to continue backing the administration.
Speaking in an interview on Friday, June 5, the CS said they will support Ruto’s re-election efforts in the next General Election.
“The truth is that many of us within ODM, especially myself as a Cabinet Secretary in the government of His Excellency President William Ruto, are supporting the work being done by the government and will continue to support it during the elections so that he can secure a second term of leadership in 2027,” he said.
This comes weeks after UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar has defended Wandayi and his Trade counterpart Lee Kinyanjui after the opposition demanded their resignation over the fuel scandal.
Speaking on Thursday, April 16, Omar asked Wandayi and Kinyanjui to remain strong and not be distracted by opposition criticism.
Omar noted that the UDA Party is confident in the leadership of the two CSs in their respective dockets.

“We remain confident in the stewardship of Opiyo Wandayi as Cabinet Secretary for Energy and Lee Kinyanjui, Cabinet Secretary for Trade.
“We equally ask them to remain steadfast in the face of misleading, defamatory, and sensational assertions by the opposition characters, particularly Gachagua,” he said.
Omar also dismissed the calls for nationwide demonstrations by the opposition over the rise in fuel prices.
“This country does not belong to one person. He is asking for mass action over an international fuel crisis. If Gachagua is sincere, he should be calling for mass action against Trump and Netanyahu. Those are the people who created the crisis, not William Ruto,” he added.
Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua had called for the resignation of Wandayi and Kinyanjui, claiming they were culpable for the fuel scandal.
The former Deputy President alleged that while Wandayi was directly involved, Kinyanjui was equally responsible for being complicit.
