Candidate announcement
Lands Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome has called on former President Uhuru Kenyatta to cease what she described as interference in President William Ruto’s leadership. She urged the retired Head of State to offer Ruto the same support Ruto extended to him during his presidency.
Speaking at a consultative forum for Community Health Promoters and village elders from Kangema and Kahuro sub-counties, Wahome argued that political competition should not persist after elections at the expense of national unity.
She maintained that Ruto supported Kenyatta throughout his presidency and that the former Head of State should reciprocate by respecting his successor’s mandate and allowing him to govern without political confrontation. Wahome questioned why a retired president would engage in political battles with a sitting Head of State, asserting that the end of a presidential term should mark a transition to a different role in national leadership.
