Ruto's Political Power Shake-Up: Uhuru's Ghost Haunts the Presidency

President William Ruto's recent labeling of former President Uhuru Kenyatta as a "rebel leader" has ignited significant outrage. This tag, according to observers, deeply pained his predecessor, as it associates him with the image of a lawless leader connected to either rag-tag armies or armed militia groups.

Despite former President Kenyatta having left office more than four years ago, his name continues to be a recurring theme in President Ruto's public discourse. It appears that President William Ruto has anchored a significant portion of his reelection campaign strategy on consistently criticizing and "bashing" Uhuru Kenyatta at every available opportunity, making the former president a central figure in current political narratives.
