President William Ruto’s allies in his native Rift Valley region are digging in for his re-election, with some suggesting he must win the 2027 race by all means possible.

In the latest potentially controversial remarks, Pokot South MP David Pkosing called on the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to omit the names of other presidential candidates from next year’s ballot and retain only that of President Ruto.

“IEBC, munisikie vizuri! Hii mwaka inakuja 2027, kwa kura ya president, tunataka debe moja pekee yake ikuje West Pokot, debe moja. Hatutaki debe ya wale wengine,” said Pkosing.

Pkosing told those planning to unseat President Ruto to look for alternatives.

“Wale wengine wapeleke debe yao mahali wanajua. West Pokot tunataka debe moja ya William Samoei Ruto,” added Pkosing.
