Critics of President William Ruto in Kenya have outlined several scenarios they believe are the only ways he could become a one-term president, suggesting that his re-election through the ballot box is unlikely. The critics argue that the only feasible paths for Ruto to leave office after a single term are through impeachment, removal via a revolution, a coup d’état, or his death in power.
These critics dismiss the possibility of Ruto losing re-election in a fair and free electoral process, claiming that elections in Kenya are not decisive factors in determining a president’s tenure. They suggest that expecting Ruto to be a one-term president through elections is unrealistic and akin to building castles in the air.
The remarks from government critics underscore the political tensions and divisions in Kenya, where discussions about the presidency and electoral processes are often contentious. As Ruto’s presidency progresses, it is likely that these debates will continue to shape the political landscape and influence public opinion.
