Members of Parliament from Trans Nzoia County have publicly declared their unwavering support for President William Ruto’s second-term bid in the upcoming 2027 general elections, citing his strong performance and visible development record.
Speaking on Friday, October 10, 2025, during Mazingira Day celebrations, Kiminini MP Maurice Kakai Bisau led the delegation in affirming their backing for the president.
“I have no doubt that President William Ruto will secure a second term. What he has achieved so far is amazing, and Kenyans can see the results,” said Bisau.
The show of unity comes amid President Ruto’s efforts to expand his political base and woo former critics into his fold, most notably the recent handshake with KANU chairman Gideon Moi, signaling a broader strategy toward inclusion and national cohesion.
National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula also urged residents across the Western region to rally behind Ruto’s re-election, a move seen as a major political test for Governor George Natembeya, who has expressed ambitions to unite the Mulembe nation and challenge Ruto in 2027.
Endebess MP Robert Pukose cautioned local leaders against politicizing national development projects, emphasizing unity over division.
“Trans Nzoia is home to every community. Let’s shun petty politics that derail progress and focus on supporting the president’s re-election,” he said.
Echoing similar sentiments, Kwanza MP Ferdinand Wanyonyi praised Ruto’s administration for tangible progress in key sectors:
“The Social Health Authority is working, affordable housing projects are advancing, and food security is becoming a reality. These are clear indicators of a government delivering on its promises,” Wanyonyi noted.
Meanwhile, Kenya’s Permanent Representative to UN-Habitat, Susan Nakhumicha, defended her active role in mobilizing political support for Ruto, saying leadership requires engagement in national politics.
“Politics is life. President Ruto must serve Kenya for two terms,” she declared.
Former Kiminini MP Chris Wamalwa joined the call, urging Trans Nzoia residents to rally behind the president and ensure continuity of development.
The united front from Trans Nzoia’s political leadership underscores growing momentum for Ruto’s 2027 re-election campaign, even as opposition forces deliberate on strategies to counter his expanding influence in the Western region.
