Ruto: God will have the final say in 2027

By Newsflash Reporter

President William Ruto has said that God will have the final say in the 2027 general elections, as political tensions rise ahead of the vote.

The President spoke amid intensified opposition campaigns led by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua and his allies.

The political climate has further been stirred following Gachagua’s recent meeting with former President Uhuru Kenyatta during the burial of former Kirinyaga Senator Daniel Karaba in Kirinyaga County, an encounter that triggered debate across the country.

The Head of State urged leaders to focus on unity and respect for democratic institutions, noting that political competition should not divide citizens along ethnic or regional lines as the country prepares for another high-stakes election season ahead intensifying.

Faith and leadership message

Speaking at a church service in Kilgoris, Narok County on Sunday, April 5, 2026, Ruto said.

“There are some people who think that their wishes are God’s wishes. They are giving us long lectures on the political declarations they made in the past. Those declarations are theirs, but what will happen belongs to God.”

“Is there any leader who is elected by mistake? The Bible says that any leadership that is in place is sanctioned by God. Whether you are so influential, its God who will decide on the leadership that will be elected.”

“That is the truth as it is. In 2022, many believed it was not possible, but God had His plans. In 2027, God will plan how things will be. My only plea to Kenyans: lets maintain peace and vote in unity. The rest God will plan,” emphasised the President.

Gachagua and his allies have intensified anti-Ruto campaigns across the country, accusing the administration of corruption and economic mismanagement, heightening the political contest ahead of 2027 elections.
