As the new year takes shape, the decisions and actions taken by ten of the most influential people in Kenya will determine how events in the country unfold and may have a bearing on the 2027 general elections.
These men and women in whose hands and lips the destiny of the country rests include President William Ruto, his deputy Kithure Kindiki, ODM leader Raila Odinga, Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and former President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Others are Chief Justice Martha Koome, Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Faith Odhiambo, Kenya Conference of Catholic Bishops chairperson Philip Anyolo and Anglican Church of Kenya Archbishop Jackson ole Sapit.
Given that the electioneering period in the country starts a year before the election, Ruto only has this year to consolidate his legacy projects that he may use to rally Kenyans as he seeks to defend his reelection game plan.
