Kwale women representative urges mothers to re-elect Ruto
By Luke Oluoch, July 11, 2025Kwale Women Representative Fatuma Masito has challenged mothers to make their numbers count in the re-election of President William Ruto.
Speaking during a people empowerment drive in Cherangany, Trans Nzoia County, on Friday, July 11, 2025, the leader expressed optimism that women have the capacity to make Ruto’s re-election a reality.
Mi najua akina mama mnaweza fanya rais arudi awamu ya pili sisi ndio wengi katika taifa la Kenya sasa. Akina mama, nataka msiniabishe. Ruto aende ngapi, Turudishe Willliam Ruto and Kenya iende mbele,”
Loosely translated to: “I know that as mothers, we can make Ruto get reelected for a second term. We are the majority in Kenya at the moment. Mothers, I want you not to put me to shame. Let Ruto get his second term and Kenya move forward,” she stated.
We have the numbers
Her sentiments come a day after Health Cabinet Secretary Aden Duale confidently declared that Ruto will secure a second term in office, predicting a landslide victory in the 2027 general election.
Duale rallied supporters of the Kenya Kwanza administration to begin mobilising early, emphasising the need to register more voters ahead of the next poll.
He also hinted at the massive voter recruitment drive targeting the North Eastern part of Kenya as key to Ruto’s second term. He further argued that leaders from the region have urged their people to declare their real numbers in the upcoming census, since they need to have enough numbers to re-elect Ruto.
“Our numbers in the census—if you go and ask someone, ‘How many children do you have?’ they will answer you, ‘Is that your business?’ But we have now told them, for the census, they must say. Because we have to have enough voters to bring back William Ruto. William Ruto will come back with a landslide. These characters will be shocked. That guy, Inshaallah, his second term is guaranteed, and he will be voted not because of anything else but because he will deliver on his promises,” Duale said.
