Former Cabinet Secretary, Moses Kuria has now likened the 2027 General Election to that of 2002, saying it will be more about consensus building.
Kuria, who is President William Ruto's Senior Economic Advisor, said that the 2027 elections will be a litmus test on unity and peace. Just like the late former President Mwai Kibaki was widely accepted by the political heavyweights in 2002, the former CS said that a similar situation is likely to emerge ahead of 2027. "There are people who are doing practice for a football match that will not happen, there will be no such kind of contest.
There will not be an election in 2027 for the president.
In 2002, was there an election? … it was rubber stamped," he said in an interview on Citizen TV. "Kibaki had been pre-agreed, 'have you ever seen that margin again'… because it was a moment. 2027 will be another moment like 2002, it is not going to be an election in the sense that we are thinking.
