How President Ruto will beat Gen-Zs in 2027; David Ndii
Economist David Ndii projects President William Ruto continued stint in power post-2027 despite the efforts by the restive Gen-Zs to challenge him
Economist David Ndii projects President William Ruto continued stint in power post-2027 despite the efforts by the restive Gen-Zs to challenge him.
The citizenry got a political awakening in the recent past, vowing to leverage the ballot to cast out retrogressive leadership in the country.
In their digital forums, the young Kenyans resolve to undertake massive civic education ahead of the next vote to send home the current holders of power who have been accused of advancing oppressive policies.
However, Ndii believes Ruto would beat the awakened youth (Gen-Zs) in their game.
According to the economist, who chairs the Presidential Council of Economic Advisers, the president grasped the script of the young generation and is already working to challenge it and enhance the chances of his political survival after his first term.
Ndii suggested that Ruto’s recent tours of the country, disguised as working visits, are a political strategy; the president has visited the Kenyan coast, Mt Kenya, and Western counties in under one month.
He observed that as the politically aggrieved youth spent time strategising on the internet, Ruto was already leveraging the working tours to meet the voters on the ground.
“Gen-Zs challenged William Ruto to a political contest. William Ruto pulled the rug from under their feet and is on the ground consolidating his base village to village. They are here trolling. then 2027, they start Cherera nonsense,” stated Ndii.

The youth’s revolt against Ruto’s administration was triggered by the condemned Finance Bill 2024, which they argued bore oppressive tax measures.
Their activism, which culminated in the invasion of the National Assembly in June, pushed the president to withdraw the bill and send it back to parliament with a memorandum recommending the deletion of its clauses.
Further, the president was compelled to fire his entire Cabinet, citing Kenyans’ evaluation of the Cabinet Secretaries’ performance.
Ruto also sanctioned budget cuts and reduced government spending to cover for the shortfall occasioned by the withdrawal of the bill.
However, despite all the foregoing measures -and many others- by Ruto to appease the youth, that part of the citizenry is not convinced and has thus vowed to continue with the clamour for change.
