Jubilee Deputy Organizing Secretary Pauline Njoroge has intensified criticism of President William Ruto, arguing that the emerging opposition wave signals a difficult path for the incumbent ahead of the 2027 General Election.
Her remarks came after united opposition leaders held rallies on Monday in Bomet and Kisii counties, events that drew large crowds and underscored growing political coordination.
The rallies were led by former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, Kalonzo Musyoka, and Eugene Wamalwa.
In her statement, Njoroge echoed Wamalwa’s position that even major development pledges would not shift voter sentiment from the opposition’s “Wantam” rallying call, a slogan increasingly used to advocate a single-term presidency for Ruto.
She also referenced Musyoka’s challenge to claims that the President could win by over one million votes, questioning the numerical path to such a margin.
Njoroge argued that key voting blocs are consolidating against the President.
She claimed Mt. Kenya is “locked,” alongside Ukambani, Gusii, significant parts of Western Kenya, at least half of the Coast region, and sections of Maasai land — leaving only parts of the Rift Valley firmly aligned with Ruto.
The Jubilee official stressed that voter turnout will be decisive in 2027, warning that low participation in opposition strongholds could undermine electoral gains.
Her remarks also cited Matiang’i’s recent pledge to safeguard votes in the next election cycle, saying the coming contest would present “a win to protect.”
The developments point to early political realignments as opposition leaders seek to build momentum ahead of 2027.
