Saboti Member of Parliament (MP) Caleb Amisi has issued a warning to the opposition, saying that while President William Ruto’s approval ratings make him beatable in 2027, the opposition’s failure to unite around a single candidate risk handing him a second term through a runoff.

In a post on his social media, Amisi said Ruto’s 32 per cent approval rating, according to the latest Infotrak Survey released on Monday, July 13, tells a clear story.

“If Ruto is rating at 32%, it means 68% of Kenyans do not want him. And it will not change,” he said.

MP Amisi added that the numbers alone should make the path to defeating the President straightforward, if the opposition can get out of its own way.

The problem, Amisi said, is ego.

“Most opposition leaders we have today are too egoistic to endorse others. 2027 is a runoff, my people. I wish we could avoid this trap by all means necessary. Join forces!” he wrote.

The MP backed Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, of Linda Mwananchi Movement, as his preferred candidate but said he is also open to other new leaders.

“I have been vouching for Sifuna and if not Sifuna, at least someone new. Kenyans are tired of the same faces year in year out,” he said.

Amisi closed with a broader call for renewal, saying the country is overdue for a reset.

“Kenya needs a renaissance,” he concluded.
