Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei says recent by-election wins for UDA and ODM prove Kenyans are backing President William Ruto's coalition setup, and he thinks the 2027 general election is already locked up for the incumbent. UDA grabbed seats in Baringo, Mbeere North, Malava, and Banissa, while ODM swept Kasipul, Magarini, and Ugunja constituencies. Cherargei brushed off critics who said the margins were tight, and he told reporters that second place means nothing in politics.
The senator wants police and electoral officials to go after anyone caught causing trouble during voting, and he called out opposition figures filmed attacking people. He also praised Ruto for kicking off work on a major highway upgrade between Rironi and Mau Summit, saying the current road causes massive traffic jams that hurt trade.
