On Friday, a top politician strongly warned the people of the Nyanza region against being misled by Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei, who had earlier asked them to support President William Ruto in the 2027 General Election.
The politician urged Nyanza residents to remain alert and not fall for political promises meant to influence their voting decisions.
Earlier, Senator Samson Cherargei addressed the people of Nyanza and encouraged them to vote for President William Ruto in 2027.
In his statement, Cherargei claimed that supporting the President would allow the region to enjoy the benefits of being close to the government.
He said that regions that support the ruling government often receive development projects, government appointments, and better services.
“If you vote for President Ruto, you will enjoy the benefits of being in government,” Cherargei told the residents, urging them to abandon opposition politics and work with the current leadership.
However, Cherargei’s remarks did not go unchallenged. Omemba Magufuli responded strongly, warning the people of Nyanza not to be deceived by such promises.
In his statement, Magufuli said that voting for President Ruto in 2027 would only lead to more suffering.
“If you elect him, your tears will be worse than those of Mt. Kenya people today,” Magufuli warned. He argued that many Kenyans who supported the current government are now struggling with high living costs, job losses, and unmet promises.
Magufuli urged Nyanza residents to learn from what is happening in other regions and not repeat the same mistakes.
He accused Cherargei of using fear and false hope to win political support. According to him, real development should not be tied to who people vote for but should be a right for all Kenyans.
