Opposition Bigwigs in Kenya race against time in bid to unseat Ruto

A conglomerate of opposition mandarins are not leaving anything to chance in their endeavors to oust president William Ruto from power through the ballot.

As 2027 draws nigh, political temperatures in Kenya are on a steady rise as opposition gather momentum in their quest to clinch power.

Recently, the opposition christened as the 'United Opposition' identified former Kimilili legislator Dr Mukhisa Kituyi as their sole spokesman.

The opposition bringing together Kalonzo Musyoka, Rigathi Gachagua, Justin Muturi, Martha Karua, Fred Matiang'i and Eugene Wamalwa are of the opinion that they should have a single opposition candidate in order to win the presidential elections that will be held on August 2027.

The strategic exit of ODM leader Raila Odinga from opposition politics, when he chose to work with president Ruto, left a vaccum that had to be filled.

Why 2027 General Elections in Kenya might be the most historic

Should the opposition manage to stick together, president William Ruto might be defeated.

Majority of Kenyans seem to be dissatisfied with the current regime which came into power with the sacred call of lifting the livelihoods of the commoner in what was dubbed as bottom up economy model.

3 years down the line, nothing to boast of in terms of economic empowerment of individuals in the lower cadre.

The impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua really upset the agikuyu community, who form the bulk of the voting populace in Kenya.

Western region, which has been Raila Odinga's stronghold, is slowly drifting away from the status quo and the emergency of Trans Nzoia Governor George Natembeya as the regional Kingpin complicates Ruto's chance of getting substantial votes from the region through Wetangula and Mudavadi.

Ruto's sure support in 2027 will be derived from his North Rift base, luo Nyanza and partly Coastal region courtesy of Hassan Joho and Amazon Kingi.

The United Opposition will have major support from Nairobi, Central, Western, Gusii Nyanza and Eastern with the exception of Tharaka Nithi.

Maasai dominated counties will be a battleground and might either be in favor of the government or the opposition.

How Musk's Neuralink Blindsight will allow the blind to see

Scientists are still stunned by Elon Musk's plan to enable blind people to see, using his Neurolink's Brain Computer Interface chip dubbed Blindsight. Neurolink has already partnered with top Spanish scientists and US Santa Barbara to make a device called Blindsight, a smart Bionic Eye powered by brain implants and AI. Blindsight got the approval of the US Food and Drug Adminstration (FDA), though there have been no human trials. Musk confided that Neurolink will perform its first human implant of Blindsight at the course of 2025. Will Neurolink's Blindsight allow Blind People to see? Blindsight is designed to enable people with total visual impairment, as a result of damaged optic nerve but with intact visual cortex, to see. This is enhanced by bypassing the optic nerve and stimulating the visual cortex to create a visual perception. Visual cortex is part of the brain that receives, integrates and processes visual information relayed from the retina. Blindsigh...

Why President Ruto risks being impeached

President William Ruto is treading a dangerous political path. His recent allegations over bribery in parliament might hound him out of office. The president has found himself in a political quagmire over his public expose on rampant graft in parliament. Legislators drawn from the National Assembly and the Senate were astounded by the manner in which the Head of State exposed their nakedness in the public gallery, instead of initiating prosecution process with the relevant mandated authorities. Majority of MPs were of the opinion that the president should have prosecuted his case with the relevant bodies established by the Constitution tasked to deal with corruption cases. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula and his Senate counterpart Amazon Kingi have been directed by a section of MPs to summon the president to shed more light over his aspersions or risk being impeached. Homa Bay Senator Moses Kajwang' and his Nairobi colleague Edwin Sifuna were irritated by what they...
