Lists of 5 leaders who will cost President Ruto in 2027; Ahmednasir
Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has cautioned President William Ruto against five of his close allies, whom he says might cost his 2027 re-election bid
Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has cautioned President William Ruto against five of his close allies, whom he says might cost his 2027 re-election bid.
Ahmednasir seemed to suggest that the group has vastly contributed to the unpopularity of Ruto’s regime just two years into his election as president.
They are Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah, who also doubles up as the leader of the majority side in the National Assembly, former Gtundu South MP Moses Kuria, who currently serves as the chief of Ruto’s economic advisors at State House Nairobi, Kapseret MP Osar Sudi, Energy CS Opiyo Wandayi and Kisumu senator Tom Ojienda.
According to the lawyer, the foregoing individuals have fallen out of favour with the citizenry due to their bravado and hubris and, therefore, pose a threat to the rare political lifeline the president might be having.
Ruto should thus detach himself from their company, Ahmednasir advised him.
“They are Kenyans President William Ruto and his government must get a court injunction stopping them from praising him and his government…for Ruto to win in 2027,” said Ahmednasir.
The lawyer’s counsel came at a time when the current regime has grown unpopular, the Gen Z uprising constantly challenging its policies deemed oppressive.
The antagonists have also vowed to mobilise their numbers in 2027 to unseat Ruto.
The levels to which the youth went to inform change in the country within months had many arguing the next election would be interesting to watch as the disgruntled youth will want to leverage the ballot to actualise their desired change.

There were, however, some quarters that believe the president cannot be easily bitten by a euphoric youth.
Economist David Ndii is among the naysayers of the Kenyan Gen Zs.
He previously said he is not convinced that the vibrant Kenyan youth could tilt the traditional political status quo in 2027.
According to him, the Kenyan youth cannot do much on the ballot.
“They don’t have the discipline,” this was his response to an X user who has sought his opinion on whether “Gen Z can influence a win in 2027”.
He went ahead and spelled out numerical strength as the main undoing of the group, referencing the events in the 1990s during the late former president Daniel Moi’s era.
“The Genz foray into politics on middle-class interests without the numbers is not new. It was even more daunting in the 90s with no independent middle class to speak of. But a tiny intelligentsia, a hundred strong at best, figured out how to use guerilla tactics,” he said.
