The deputy president is crediting his boss for cooling the nation's political temperature. Deputy President Kithure Kindiki praised President William Ruto for closing ranks with the opposition in 2025, a move he called the administration's most significant leadership gesture of the year. He argued this shift ended years of bitter division, transforming the political environment from hostility to debates focused on policy and programs.
Kindiki stated that broadening the government to include former rivals from the Azimio coalition expanded the political space, fostering national unity and enabling consensus on key development initiatives. He specifically pointed to housing and health sector reforms as projects that would have stalled under previous antagonistic conditions. The deputy president framed inclusive politics as a necessary foundation for sustainable progress, allowing the government to mobilize wider support and focus on delivery rather than division.
