Speaking in Kakamega County during the launch of Shirikiana SACCO at Masainde Muliro University, Mudavadi said leaders from the region had already resolved to support Ruto’s second-term bid and called on voters to rally behind the President.

“During the 2022 campaigns, as leaders we gave direction. Our focus was on President Ruto and he won. We told you he was the route, and even now he remains to be that route we as a region must follow,” Mudavadi said.

The Prime CS argued that Western Kenya stands to gain more from maintaining its political alignment with the current administration, noting that the government has demonstrated a commitment to addressing the region’s development priorities.

“President Ruto’s leadership is one of the critical and sure avenues that will help us change the fortunes of our region. He has walked with us a journey of economic empowerment and as a region we should be grateful,” he said.

Mudavadi cautioned against political indecision as the country gradually enters the electioneering period, urging residents to remain consistent in their support for the government.

“When we talk of being focused, we should also be consistent. Let us not play hot and cold. We should be decisive and firm in our decision to support President Ruto and his agenda for the nation,” he said.

The remarks come as political realignments begin to take shape ahead of the 2027 General Election, with parties and regional leaders positioning themselves for what is expected to be a fiercely contested race.

Mudavadi also praised Ruto’s growing international profile, describing him as a leading voice for Africa on the global stage.
