"The Only Way To Dethrone Ruto Is If He Relaxes" The Man Behind eCitizen On 2027 | Iko Nini Part 2

🗳️ Can anyone beat Ruto in 2027? In Part 2, Kiprono David, OGW, the man behind eCitizen (Director of Government Relations & Public Affairs at Electronic Citizen Solutions) and a former Raila strategist, goes deep on Kenyan politics with Mwaf, Rowbow and Zaq. He breaks down the opposition puzzle: Sifuna, Uhuru, Matiang'i, Kalonzo and Gachagua, why he says Uhuru's side would rather keep Ruto than hand power to Gachagua, and why he calls Sifuna a future president but says this is not his time. He explains how Wetang'ula and Mudavadi swung 2022, makes claims about voter suppression, and says the only way to dethrone Ruto is if he and his team relax. Then the record: roads, the 24 killed in Sunday's crash on Mombasa Road, the 24 hours of silence on the building collapse, affordable housing and Kibra, fertiliser from 7,000 to 2,500 bob, the bottom-up agenda, the terror attempts he says NIS stops every day, Turkana vs Nyeri voters, a 2032 Kenya "closer to Singapore", and why he says "governors are very corrupt" and won't join eCitizen. Views and claims in this conversation are the guest's own. Can Ruto be beaten in 2027? Who's your candidate?
