Lawyer Ahmednasir Warns Ruto: 5 Allies Threaten 2027 Re-Election Amid Gen Z Uprising
Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has warned President William Ruto about five key allies who could jeopardize his chances of re-election in 2027.
Ahmednasir hinted that this group has played a significant role in eroding public trust in Ruto’s administration despite the president’s only being in office for two years.
The individuals named include Kikuyu MP Kimani Ichung’wah, who also serves as the Majority Leader in the National Assembly, former Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, now Ruto’s chief economic advisor at State House Nairobi, Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, Energy CS Opiyo Wandayi, and Kisumu Senator Tom Ojienda.
Ahmednasir argued that these figures have alienated citizens through arrogance and overconfidence, threatening Ruto’s already precarious political standing.
To safeguard his 2027 bid, the lawyer advised Ruto to distance himself from this group.
“The president and his government need a court injunction to stop these individuals from praising him or his administration if he hopes to secure a win in 2027,” Ahmednasir remarked.
This warning comes as Ruto’s regime faces growing unpopularity, with Gen Z youth increasingly challenging policies they view as oppressive.

The opposition has vowed to galvanize support in 2027 to oust Ruto, banking on the youth’s determination to effect change through the ballot.
The rapid mobilization and influence of Kenya’s youth have sparked debates about their potential impact on the next election, with many speculating that their discontent could shape the nation’s political landscape.
However, some observers believe Ruto may still withstand this youth-driven wave of change.
Economist David Ndii is among the skeptics of Gen Z’s political influence, arguing that the youth lack the discipline to effect substantial change at the ballot box.
In response to an inquiry on X about whether Gen Z could influence the 2027 election, Ndii pointed to their limited numerical strength as their Achilles’ heel, drawing parallels to Kenya’s political climate in the 1990s under former President Daniel Moi.
Ndii explained that while middle-class interests are not new to Kenyan politics, their lack of numbers has always been a challenge. He referenced a small intelligentsia during the 1990s, which effectively used guerilla tactics despite facing overwhelming odds.
