National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula has launched a scathing attack on the Opposition, accusing them of orchestrating a campaign to incite Kenyans to vote out of anger and tribal animosity in the 2027 General Elections.

Speaking during a fundraiser at Njoro, Nakuru County, Wetang’ula warned that the Opposition's rhetoric is designed to provoke emotional voting, a tactic he said could lead to disastrous leadership choices.

“The Opposition is on a calculated charm offensive, weaponizing voter anger and hatred ahead of 2027,” Wetang’ula told congregants and urged them to remain sober and vigilant at the ballot.

The Speaker cautioned that allowing emotions to dictate electoral decisions could open the door for unqualified leaders and plunge the country back into political instability.

“Don’t vote out of hatred or vengeance. Ignore leaders whose agenda is to stir your emotions for their political gain,” said Wetang'ula.

Wetang’ula also took aim at tribal politics, reiterating his longstanding call for national unity and peaceful coexistence.

He invoked the tragic memories of the 2007/08 post-election violence, noting that Njoro was one of the hardest-hit regions.

“Njoro paid a heavy price for tribal-driven politics. Let us not allow history to repeat itself,” he said.

He addressed those campaigning along ethnic lines, accusing them of endangering Kenya’s hard-won peace.

“Even if you're desperate for the presidency, do not use your ambition to undermine our national unity. Kenya belongs to all of us,” Wetang’ula stated.

He praised ODM leader Raila Odinga’s recent cooperation with President William Ruto as a bold and patriotic gesture, hitting back at critics who labeled the move a betrayal.

“Those castigating Raila for working with President Ruto are not interested in Kenya’s future they thrive on discord and dysfunction,” Wetang’ula said.
