Ruto Accuses Uhuru of Leading Opposition Plot Against His 2027 Re-election<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
President William Ruto has opened up on his strained relationship with former President Uhuru Kenyatta, accusing his predecessor of choosing active opposition politics instead of embracing the role of a statesman after leaving office.<\/p>\n
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Nation<\/em>, Ruto alleged that Uhuru is part of an opposition strategy aimed at frustrating his bid for re-election in the 2027 General Election.<\/p>\n
The President said the political differences between the two former allies have persisted despite several attempts to repair their relationship.<\/p>\n
Ruto has previously made public overtures towards reconciliation with Uhuru, but those efforts have yet to produce a political rapprochement between the two leaders.<\/p>\n
The renewed accusations could further intensify political tensions ahead of the 2027 elections, as alliances and succession battles increasingly take centre stage.<\/p>\n
Ruto’s remarks also revive questions about the dramatic political fallout between the two leaders, who once worked closely together before their relationship deteriorated following the 2018 political realignment.<\/p>\n
With the 2027 contest approaching, the relationship between Ruto and Uhuru could become a significant factor in Kenya’s evolving opposition and coalition politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
