Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga said he will back President William Ruto’s administration until the 2027 general election, signalling a rare rapprochement between two rivals who led opposing camps in the closely fought 2022 poll. Odinga, speaking in a televised interview, stressed that he is "with Ruto until 2027" and is unconcerned by critics who question his motives. Odinga’s declaration comes as senior figures in Ruto’s Kenya Kwanza coalition voice confidence in winning a second term and dismiss allegations of possible vote-rigging. Cabinet Secretary for Public Service Geoffrey Ruku told reporters after a church service in Nairobi that the government is committed to "free, fair and transparent" elections and pledged full support for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. Ruto, addressing a separate congregation in Machakos, reiterated his intent to fulfil campaign promises on universal health coverage, affordable housing and job creation, rejecting claims that he had over-promised. The convergence of Odinga’s public backing and the administration’s assurances on governance and election integrity reshapes Kenya’s political landscape two years ahead of the next national vote.
