Kenya: Ruto escalates attacks on Kenyatta in Migori, 2027 campaign heats up

President Ruto intensified personal attacks on former President Kenyatta, accusing him of sponsoring opposition leaders, during a campaign stop in Migori. This marks an escalation in pre-2027 political maneuvering, signaling a deepening rift within Kenya's political elite. The move suggests Ruto is consolidating his base ahead of the next election, but the immediate impact is limited to domestic politics.
