In a bold political move, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna has declared he won’t back President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election.
The Orange Democratic Movement secretary general emphasised that voting is a personal choice and expressed no ill will toward those who choose to support Ruto’s re-election.
“Sifuna Edwin Watenya, I can give my ID number. I will not be voting for William Ruto in 2027. He should also respect my decision. Thank you,” Sifuna told Citizen TV.

Why will Sifuna not vote for Ruto?
Sifuna, referring to himself as the one with the “marking scheme,” gave the Kenya Kwanza administration a grade E, claiming they have done little to address Kenya’s challenges.
He also alleged that the president became upset when he criticised the delayed disbursement of county funds. Sifuna noted that counties have not received money since February.
“When I stood up during the burial of George Oduor and I told him that he agreed to increase budgetary allocations to counties to KSh 450 billion, not KSh 405 billion, the president got annoyed and threatened to call the founders of ODM to discipline the SG,” Sifuna said.
He added that members of the Ruto-led United Democratic Alliance who accuse him of undermining the broad-based government are being unjust.
Sifuna also noted that his complaints serve as reminders of the commitments made during the UDA-ODM partnership agreement.
