Mt Kenya Politicians Reaffirms Support for President William Ruto Until 2032

Murang’a County nominated Member of County Assembly Sharleen Wambui has declared her support for President William Ruto to serve two full terms in office until 2032.

Speaking through a statement shared on her official Facebook page on Saturday, November 14, 2026, the United Democratic Alliance politician expressed her backing for the president ahead of the 2027 general election while dismissing claims of political defection.

“After serious soul-searching and consultation, I’ve decided to join millions of Kenyans in sending Ruto back to Sugoi in 2032,” Wambui said.

Her remarks sparked widespread online debate after some social media users initially misread the statement as an opposition message before noticing the 2032 timeline, which implies a second term victory in 2027.

Wambui, who serves as a youth leader and chairs the Youth, Sports, and Culture Committee in the Murang’a County Assembly, has been a vocal defender of the Kenya Kwanza administration.

President Ruto is seeking re-election in the August 2027 polls, where he is expected to face several challengers from the opposition coalition.

The head of state is percieved to have lost a huge chunk of Mt Kenya votes especially in Central where he was overwhelmingly voted in the 2022 General Election.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has consolidated significant support in the Central Kenya region following his impeachment.

The by-election which was conducted in Ol Kalou indicated that Gachagua could control majority of votes in Central. His DCP party might also scoop majority of seats in the region.

Many Mt Kenya leaders have defected from Ruto’s UDA to DCP which is an indication that the ruling party is losing ground in the region.
