Kenyan Opposition Leaders Rally Against Ruto in Heated Coast Tour

Opposition leaders Rigathi Gachagua and Kalonzo Musyoka are currently touring the coast region of Kenya, rallying against President William Ruto's government. Their tour, which began on June 7th, 2025, has drawn large crowds and sparked heated debate. The opposition leaders have criticized Ruto's handling of various issues, including his empowerment programs. "Ruto ni mkabila mkubwa katika Jamhuri ya Kenya tangu uhuru," Gachagua stated in a speech, translating to "Ruto is the biggest tribalist in Kenya since independence." This statement reflects the opposition's central claim that Ruto favors his own ethnic group. The tour also features Kalonzo Musyoka, who added, "We will unite and remove President Ruto in the 2027 general election." Their campaign aims to mobilize support and present a united front against Ruto before the upcoming elections. The events underscore the growing political tension in Kenya as the 2027 elections approach.
