Nairobi County Senator Edwin Sifuna has declared he would not support President William Ruto's re-election even if the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party Leader Raila Odinga backed him.
Speaking during an interview at Citizen TV on Thursday morning, Sifuna stated that it did not matter if the decision impacted his Senatorial seat as he had the pleasure of serving as the Nairobi Senator over the past five years but re-election was not a "life or death situation" for him. "If Raila endorses Ruto, I will still not vote for Ruto, and I don't have to run.
The major assignment we have for 2027 is to make Ruto a one-term President because he is bad for the country," he declared. "I have said that I don't have to be a Senator.
I can just retire and go home and do sugarcane farming now that I hear he is paying farmers bonuses.
