Ruto Is Not Going Anywhere, MP Sudi Says
Sudi’s remarks come at a time when social media platforms have been abuzz with the #RutoMustGo hashtag, signaling discontent among certain quarters of Kenyan society

Eldoret, Kenya – In a bold statement issued today, Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has emphatically declared that President William Ruto is not going anywhere, effectively quashing any speculation about Ruto’s tenure being threatened.
Sudi’s remarks come at a time when social media platforms have been abuzz with the #RutoMustGo hashtag, signaling discontent among certain quarters of Kenyan society. Addressing critics, particularly those in Nairobi, Sudi highlighted, “Those from Nairobi saying ‘Ruto must go,’ I am telling you that Ruto is not going anywhere!”
The MP, known for his close relationship with President Ruto, used the opportunity to assert that the presidency does not belong to any particular community or region, emphasizing the inclusivity of Kenyan leadership. “He added that anyone has the right to become the president of Kenya, whether from Western or Turkana,” a reference to the diverse Kenyan ethnic landscape, emphasizing that leadership transcends tribal lines.
Sudi’s defense of Ruto extends beyond mere political loyalty. He has previously indicated that under Ruto’s leadership, significant strides could be made if given the right support, even jestingly mentioning his own presidential ambitions in a light-hearted manner to underline the strength of Ruto’s position. “Si ata mimi mtanipea uraisi siku ingine… This is a joke of the January engineer,” he quipped, showcasing his confidence in the current administration’s stability.
The backdrop to Sudi’s statement includes ongoing debates about governance, with some voices calling for a change due to various grievances, including economic policies, alleged abductions, and other political maneuvers. However, Sudi’s comments today have put a spotlight on the resilience of Ruto’s political standing, suggesting that the President still enjoys significant support within his party and among key political figures.
In related news, discussions on social media and within political circles have been trending around the role of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) in the next election cycle, with some suggesting a strategic alliance with Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA). However, these claims have been met with denial from key ODM figures, indicating no formal agreement exists, and highlighting the complex dynamics of Kenyan politics.
As Kenya continues to navigate its political landscape, Sudi’s statement today serves as a clear message of endorsement and stability from within Ruto’s camp, amidst the noise of dissent. Whether this will quell the opposition or further fuel debates remains to be seen, but it certainly marks a moment of political assertion in the country’s ongoing dialogue about leadership and governance.
