President William Ruto on Wednesday once again dismissed talks from his critics and opponents that he would serve for only one term. Speaking in Wajir on his second day of tour of the North Eastern region, Ruto expressed confidence saying his focus is to deliver the promises Kenya Kwanza administration gave Kenyans during elections, faulting his opponents for promoting disunity. Without mentioning names, Ruto said those spearheading the one-term presidency talks have never contested for the seat and have no understanding of what it takes for one to become president. "Sometimes people make threats saying I will be a one-term president.
That is not my concern. 2027 will not be any different from all the other elections we have had," he said, adding, "I was an MP for 15 years, I became a deputy president for 10 years and now I am the president, what haven't I become?." Ruto said his priority instead is how to transform the country and the economy. "We cannot be politicking and asking for votes all through.
Elections are decided by God and the people.
Many of you did not believe that I could beat Uhuru and Raila," said Ruto.
