Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has urged Kenyans to vote out President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election.

Speaking during a book launch ceremony in Yatta, Machakos County, Kalonzo while referring to the recent polls in Botswana where Duma Boko beat incumbent Mokgweetsi Masisi becoming the sixth president of Botswana, assured Kenyans that it is possible to vote out Ruto in the next General Election.

According to the Wiper Party leader, times have changed, therefore, Kenyans do not have to worry about the capability of unseating a sitting president as democracy will be upheld.

“A very good friend of mine Duma Boko, has won by a landslide in Botswana, making President Masisi a one-term president, he has even conceded as we speak, that is how democracy should begin to work. So Kenyans who hear ati Ruto will be one-term, you begin to hear ati ooh ataiba, atafanyika namna gani, it will not happen cause times have changed,” Kalonzo said.

At the same time, Kalonzo faulted the president for failing youthful Kenyans.

He questioned how the president, a member of the United Nations Human Rights Council could fail to act when hundreds of Kenyans have been reported missing.

“How can you be a member of the United Nations human rights council and you have a hundred and plus young Kenyans missing, wengine wanaekwa kwa ndege wanaekwa kwa national park,” Kalonzo added.

This is after sustained reports of forceful abductions and enforced disappearances witnessed in the country.

The latest statement on the matter was issued by Ambassadors and High Commissioners to Kenya who raised concern over the matter calling on the rule of law to prevail.

“We note our concern over ongoing reports of arbitrary arrests and enforced disappearances despite High Court rulings. It is crucial to ensure the rule of law prevails and the rulings of the judiciary are followed,” the joint statement read.

The EU envoy also indicated that Kenya’s Constitution has set out human rights and fundamental freedoms to its citizenry.

“Kenya’s own Constitution and its National Legislation set out the rights and fundamental freedoms to which each of its citizens is entitled. It establishes the Bill of Rights as the framework for its economic and social policies. Upholding human rights leads to stability and prosperity.”

In the same breath, the council called for transparent investigations into the abductions and affirmed their commitment to supporting Kenya in promoting and protecting human rights.

“Swift and transparent investigations will enable Kenya to demonstrate to the World its commitment to upholding rights as it takes up its seat on the United Nations Human Rights Council.

“The Council faces great challenges in promoting and protecting human rights worldwide and its work is evermore essential. As active members or observers of the Council, we will support Kenya in corralling the political will necessary to effect change,” the joint statement added.
