Prime Cabinet Secretary and Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi has expressed confidence that President William Ruto is well on course to securing a second term in the 2027 general elections.
Speaking at the burial of Mzee Aggrey Luseno in Sabatia, Vihiga County, Mudavadi dismissed speculation about Ruto’s vulnerability in 2027 elections, saying the President’s broad-based political strategy and current alliances make it very difficult to unseat him.
“Despite the shifting political dynamics, Ruto still stands a big chance to clinch his second term,” Mudavadi told mourners. “I have looked at it again, and I want to tell you it will be very difficult to beat William Ruto in 2027.”
He urged residents of Western Kenya to stay united and continue supporting the President’s agenda, which he said reflects a shared vision for national development.

“I want us to remain focused and forthright as a people of Western Kenya. We should stop this blame game and work towards a common goal,” he said.
Mudavadi Reasons on Ruto’s Win
Mudavadi cited the ongoing cooperation between Ruto and opposition leader Raila Odinga, particularly in the push for Odinga’s African Union Commission chairmanship, as proof of the President’s commitment to national unity.
“Raila is a person whose faculties are intact. As the ODM leader, he made a decision for his party to work with Kenya Kwanza,” said Mudavadi. “We should stop this notion of looking at things in the prism of black and white.”
He also took a swipe at unnamed political actors, suggesting that those previously impeached should not mislead Kenyans for personal gain.
“The truth of the matter is that when someone is impeached, he has no business going around and misleading Kenyans,” he said. “The nation and the interests of the people are bigger than an individual.”

Looking back at his political trajectory, Mudavadi reminded the public of his pivotal role in key political transitions from supporting NASA in 2017, to spearheading the “earthquake” alliance with Ruto in 2022, and now rallying behind the broad-based approach ahead of 2027.
“The direction I am advising the people of Western Kenya to take is for their political good,” he said. “Be ready for the next direction I will give you.”
Mudavadi emphasized the importance of unity, noting that speaking with one voice would yield more development for the region.
He also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to devolution, recalling his contributions as a pioneer minister in shaping the legislative framework for devolved units.
