Speaking during a development tour in Nyamira County, the Head of State questioned the political weight, vision, and credibility of his opponents, arguing that they lack the capacity to mount a serious contest.
“Do they really know me? If you weigh them, do you think there is anyone among them who is my size?” Ruto posed while addressing residents.
The President criticized Opposition leaders for what he described as empty rhetoric and lack of a clear national agenda.
According to him, leadership competition should be based on policies, ideas, and a well-defined vision for the country.
“The Opposition should have an agenda, a plan and vision for the country and then we can compete. As things stand now, we cannot compete because they have no agenda,” he said.
Ruto emphasized that the power to elect leaders lies solely with the people, urging Kenyans to make informed decisions based on performance rather than political noise.
“It is the people who will decide who becomes governor, MP, senator or even president. It is not a few leaders in the Opposition who will decide,” he noted.
He further urged voters to focus on track records instead of personality traits or political theatrics.
“When the time comes, you will elect leaders based on the work they have done, not how good they look or how loud they insult others,” Ruto added.
The President used the platform to highlight his administration’s development agenda, promising to showcase tangible achievements as he seeks re-election.
He pointed to ongoing projects such as road construction, market development, electrification, and improved healthcare services.
“I will come back to show you the markets we have built, the roads constructed, electricity connected, and hospitals equipped,” he said.
In a sharp attack, Ruto accused some Opposition figures of resorting to intimidation and threats instead of offering solutions. He maintained that such tactics would not succeed in a democratic society.
“They cannot intimidate anyone or claim they will remove the president through threats. That is not how democracy works,” he stated.
The President also challenged his critics to demonstrate their own development records, questioning their contributions to local communities.
“Here in Nyamira, what have they done? Is there a road, a church, or even a classroom they can point to?” he asked.
Ruto concluded by reaffirming his commitment to protecting all Kenyans from political intimidation and ensuring inclusive leadership.
“Kenya belongs to all citizens, not a few individuals or political elites,” he said.
His remarks come amid rising political tensions as leaders begin positioning themselves for the 2027 elections.
