DP Ruto Recounts how he was humiliated by President Uhuru Kenyatta

Deputy President William Ruto has expressed his disappointment with Jubilee Party, over what he terms as change of style after new players were brought on board. He narrated how he had been humiliated by President Uhuru Kenyatta. 

Ruto was speaking during an exclusive interview with Citizen TV on Thursday where he stated that it was unfortunate that very many deputy presidents, including him, are fought. However he said that he had no regrets whatsoever.

“I have no regrets whatsoever, but I have done the best I could. I think we have done well. Maybe there would have been room for improvement but I am satisfied with my performance as Deputy President,” he stated.

The DP alleged a plot to kick him out of government. Ruto admitted his association with UDA, and disclosed that president Uhuru Kenyatta had isolated him, prompting his allies to come up with a new political outfit. He revealed that his space was taken away by other people.

“After 2017 elections, some group came up with ‘Stop Ruto Movement.’ Then they demonized me as corrupt individual and said that they would do a lifestyle audit. They removed everybody with semblance of being my friend from government,” Ruto said.

Lack of Opposition in Kenya

He revealed that he had never complained since the president started to elevate ODM leader Raila Odinga. According to Ruto’s school of thought there is no opposition in Kenya and went ahead referring Raila as a former opposition leader.

Ruto further stated: “If the President decides to elevate other people, consult more with the former leader of opposition, I have taken it with grace. You have not heard me complain.”

The DP further defended himself over the inspection of government projects. He claimed that when he was inspecting projects in 2013 and 2017, nobody complained.

Kenyans surprised over UDA's 'Voters Repair' remarks for President Ruto 2027 reelection

 Kenyans are reacting strongly to remarks by some UDA leaders that many interpret as hints at election manipulation ("ukarabati ya kura" / "voters repair") ahead of the 2027 presidential election. What Happened On or around May 23, 2026, NTV Kenya and other outlets aired footage from a UDA meeting at Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula's home.  Leaders including Savula and MP Charles Gimose reportedly used phrases like "tutafanya ukarabati ya kura" (we will repair/do maintenance on the votes).  Some comments referenced high victory margins in places like Tanzania under Samia Suluhu or Museveni-style wins. This has been widely seen as implying plans to "fix" or pad results in favor of President William Ruto's reelection, rather than a literal call for better voter registration or system maintenance. Public Reaction 1. Surprise and outrage: Many Kenyans on X and social media expressed shock, viewing it as arrogant or desperate signaling am...
