President William Ruto and KANU chairman Gideon Moi have agreed to work together in what is being described as a new phase of political cooperation aimed at uniting the country and accelerating development.
The agreement was reached during a meeting at Moi’s Kabarak home in Nakuru County, where Ruto joined KANU leaders at a grassroots consultative forum.
According to President Ruto, the discussions centered on the need for unity and a shared commitment to improving the lives of Kenyans.
He noted that divisions driven by politics have slowed progress and called on leaders to prioritize the national agenda over party interests.
“The necessity of national unity demands of all of us to rise above that which divides us so that we work together on the transformation agenda that is urgent in our country,” Ruto said in a statement shared on X.
He added that leaders must “put aside politics that could cause division and become partners in the national endeavour to get Kenya out of Third World status.”
KANU, under Gideon Moi’s leadership, resolved to collaborate with the Kenya Kwanza government under what Ruto described as a “broad-based government.”
This marks the first public cooperation between the two leaders, whose political camps have traditionally stood on opposite sides of the divide.
Ruto expressed optimism that KANU’s inclusion will strengthen the government’s efforts to address pressing national issues such as unemployment, economic reforms, and national cohesion.
“Glad that KANU, under the leadership of Chairman Gideon Moi, will work with us to address the challenges facing our country,” he said.
The move is already drawing attention in political circles, with analysts suggesting it could alter future alliances ahead of the 2027 general election.
