Speaking in Kitale during a memorial service held in honour of former Vice President Michael Kijana Wamalwa, Uhuru said he had already served the country as president for 10 years and was not interested in seeking another political role.
The former president maintained that the decision on who will lead Kenya in 2027 should be left entirely to voters.
He dismissed suggestions that he was working behind the scenes to influence the political direction of the country or promote particular opposition figures.
“The people will decide. If they say it is Kalonzo, Ruto, Matiang’i, or Sifuna, it will be so,” Uhuru said.
His remarks appeared to distance him from growing political speculation surrounding the opposition and the possible alliances that could emerge before the next election.

Several political leaders have been positioning themselves for the 2027 contest, creating intense debate over potential coalitions and presidential contenders.
Uhuru also called on Kenyans to reject attempts to divide the country along political lines. He emphasized that citizens should remain united and exercise their democratic right to choose their preferred leaders without being manipulated by political interests.
The former president’s comments come amid accusations from President William Ruto and some of his allies that Uhuru has been supporting opposition forces seeking to challenge the Kenya Kwanza administration.
Ruto has previously questioned aspects of Uhuru’s legacy and accused him of using political allies and proxies to retain influence in national politics ahead of the 2027 election.
Uhuru’s latest remarks, however, suggest that he intends to remain outside the active political contest and allow Kenyans to determine their preferred leadership through the ballot.
With the 2027 election gradually becoming a major focus of Kenya’s political landscape, Uhuru’s position could continue to attract attention, particularly as political parties and leaders prepare for new alliances and possible electoral realignments.
