Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has declared that Kenyans have already made up their minds to vote President William Ruto out of office in the 2027 General Election, challenging opposition leaders to set aside their individual presidential ambitions and rally behind a single candidate.

Mr Kenyatta said the biggest obstacle facing the opposition was not a lack of public appetite for political change, but the inability of its leaders to agree on a common political direction, warning that competing ambitions could undermine their efforts to dislodge the Kenya Kwanza administration.
