President William Ruto has urged Kenyans to remain calm ahead of the 2027 General Election, saying the outcome of the polls will ultimately be determined by God.
Speaking during an event on Thursday, Ruto assured the country that the elections would be peaceful, free and fair despite growing political tensions. “Relax, what God has decided will happen,” said the President.
“We will have elections, and they will be peaceful without violence and they will be free and fair. Because what God has decided no man can change,” he added.
Ruto said there was no need for panic over the next election, insisting that the country’s democratic process would remain stable. “The people are in a panic, but what God has decided will happen,” he said.
The President also addressed speculation about his re-election prospects, saying he would accept whichever outcome God determines.
“If He decides that I will get a second term, He will. If He decides otherwise, it’s okay. Relax,” said Ruto.
His remarks come amid heightened political activity and growing debate ahead of the 2027 General Election.
