Miguna Miguna Hints At Ruto Losing In 2027: "Won't Be Impressed By Kaunda Suit"

• Lawyer Miguna Miguna downplayed the chances of President William Ruto winning the 2027 presidential race
• According to Miguna, Kenyans will vote by emotion over the rising poverty levels and corruption in the government
• He warned Ruto to change his leadership style before the next general election as a way of saving his fate

Nairobi - Lawyer Miguna Miguna has claimed President William Ruto will not be re-elected in the 2027 elections.

Why does Miguna think Ruto will lose in 2027?

In a statement on Wednesday, December 20, Miguna said that come 2027, many Kenyans might not remember Ruto's eloquence or numerous foreign trips.

According to the outspoken lawyer, Kenya's voting pattern will be influenced by poverty, unemployment, and the high rate of corruption in the Kenya Kwanza government.

Miguna warned the Kenya Kwanza leader to change his leadership style before the next poll.

"I can assure you that in 2027 and beyond, Kenyans will not remember, recognise, or be impressed by President William Ruto’s eloquence, frequent foreign trips, or Kaunda suits. They will remember only their hunger, poverty, unemployment, and the cascading astronomical scale of corruption. Don't ever say I didn't warn you," Miguna said.

Why Miguna cannot support Raila Odinga

Miguna's projection comes despite him saying recently that he will still vote for the Kenya Kwanza government in the 2027 polls.

On December 7, the controversial lawyer cautioned Kenyans against questioning his choice of voting for Ruto instead of the opposition leader, Raila Odinga, whom he swore in as people's president after the 2017 elections.

He, however, noted that he would continue condemning the purported atrocities committed by Ruto's government.

"No. I will never support Raila. That doesn’t mean I will turn a blind eye to any violations committed by William Ruto, and I haven’t," he said.

Cosmo Choy backs Kalonzo to win in 2027

In a related story, vocal Ruto's fanatic Cosmo Choy also predicted the president losing his 2027 re-election bid.

The US-based Kenyan analysed the political status quo, concluding that he would be shown dust if he faced Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.

According to Cosmo, Ruto dented his political standing by apparently reneging on his campaign promises, his supposed failure to address the cost of living, oppressive tax regimes, and the regional imbalance in state appointments, among other parameters.

"The deputy president is not liked by Kenyans and he thus cannot help the president seek votes. He is a tribalist and irks Kenyans with his talk, especially with the shareholding in government," said Cosmo.
