Suna East MP Junet Mohamed pledged Somali community backing for President William Ruto during the 2027 general elections. The legislator spoke at a Mandera County fundraiser supporting Islamic institutions on Saturday. Mohamed dismissed critics who oppose the president's collaboration with Somali leaders. He emphasized the community's substantial economic contributions and business achievements across Kenya. The MP predicted Somali voter numbers would influence the upcoming electoral outcome.
Mohamed defended the community against political detractors questioning their growing influence. President Ruto addressed education access during the same event. The head of state praised the Eltabashi Educational Trust for supporting vulnerable children in Northern Kenya. Mohamed previously described 2027 as a referendum on political culture. He believes the election will end exclusive practices that limit certain groups from leadership positions.
