Kenyan Senator Richard Onyonka has accused President William Ruto of undermining opposition efforts by attacking political rivals, as the 2027 presidential election approaches. Onyonka specifically criticized Ruto for targeting former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, a key opposition figure. The senator argued that such attacks would not deter voters from supporting Matiang’i. Onyonka called on Ruto to focus on his presidential duties rather than engaging in political hostility. The tension highlights growing competition within Kenya’s political landscape ahead of the next election. The remarks come amid heightened political activity across the country.
