Leaders affiliated with the Western Two-Term Brigade have endorsed President William Ruto\u2019s bid for a second term, citing what they described as tangible development gains in the region during the first three years of his administration.<\/p>\n
Speaking at a church service in Mumias, Kakamega County, the brigade\u2019s chairperson, Kenneth Lusaka, said the decision to support the Head of State was driven by visible progress across Western Kenya. He pointed to the revival of key industries and ongoing road infrastructure projects as evidence of the government\u2019s commitment to the region.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough President Ruto has been in office for a relatively short time, the impact is clear, Factories have reopened, roads have been upgraded, and new development projects have been launched across our counties. Our support is grounded in performance, not political rhetoric.\u201d Lusaka said<\/p>\n
Kakamega Governor Fernandes Barasa echoed the remarks, stating that the region stands to benefit more by working closely with the national government rather than aligning itself with opposition politics.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is about securing a better future for our people, We must make political choices that attract development opportunities to our region. What ultimately matters are results, and those results are coming from the government.\u201d governor barasa said<\/p>\n
The leaders also cautioned residents against what they termed \u201cmisleading narratives\u201d from politicians pushing for a united opposition front in Western Kenya. They argued that collaboration with the national government is already delivering meaningful development outcomes.<\/p>\n
Kakamega Deputy Governor Ayub Savula weighed in on the ongoing debate surrounding the 2027 running mate position, urging leaders to respect the President\u2019s constitutional prerogative.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe selection of a deputy president is the sole responsibility of the President,\u00a0Our primary focus should be on service delivery and advancing the development agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kiminini MP Kakai Bisau described their support for Ruto as both strategic and forward-looking.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are backing President Ruto because he has shown clear vision and dedication to transforming this region,\u201d Bisau said. \u201cOur focus is on the future.\u201d<\/p>\n
