Senator Boni Khalwale has clarified his position on President William Ruto’s potential second term, insisting that he has not opposed the President’s bid for re-election.
“I don’t remember saying I don’t support Ruto’s second term. Just as Uhuru and Kibaki served two terms, Ruto will also serve two terms,” Khalwale stated, emphasizing that the country’s democratic precedent allows presidents to seek a second term.
The remarks come amid speculation and political maneuvering ahead of the 2027 elections, where statements by influential leaders like Khalwale can significantly shape public perception.
Khalwale’s comments also signal alignment with the principle of continuity and stability in leadership, suggesting that the electorate should focus on governance performance rather than political rumor.
Political observers note that such clarifications are crucial in quelling misunderstandings, especially in a highly charged electoral environment where every statement is analyzed for hidden intentions.
