"The weakness of the Opposition is the bare minimum factor. Gachagua is focused on building his own political support base to strengthen his bargaining power, rather than uniting the Opposition around a broader political strategy. He wants his pocket, he is not interested in all these things. The Opposition's obsession with securing numbers and negotiating positions could undermine its chances of challenging Ruto politically."- Robert Alai, MCA Kileleshwa #TV47Breakfast #StateOfTheNation @Fredindimuli @RobertAlai

Ruto's Battle For A New Majority "The architecture of African politics is guided by money, political parties and tribalism. The tribal card always comes into play. President Ruto is trying to demystify the issue of tribalism by taking development to everyone, under the slogan, “Usawa ni Sawa.” Gachagua was often accused of being tribal, but he has stood by his word. He is asking them, “Where is the food on the table?” Sifuna is enjoying the support of Gen Z and young people who do not care about tribalism or even political parties. The biggest question is: why don't they have their own political party at this moment? They need to move from activism to the ballot." - Bosco Mutegi Kiura, Policy and Governance Expert #TV47Breakfast #StateOfTheNation @Fredindimuli

"The Opposition's weakness is that it lacks a clear agenda and cannot frame its campaigns around the issues affecting Kenyans. They need to take Ruto's "Nitawasambaratisha" remarks seriously. Ruto himself knows that the only slogans they have are "Ruto Must Go," "Kasongo" and "Wantam." Right now, political rallies have become entertainment and comedy sessions rather than platforms for issue-based debate. - Robert Alai, MCA Kileleshwa #TV47Breakfast #StateOfTheNation @Fredindimuli @RobertAlai

Ruto Hits Back At Uhuru "The political question cannot be hatred. It cannot be just Wantam, removing this man Ruto. You need to give an alternative agenda. If the United Opposition really wants to get hold of the president at the moment, they need to catch up with him on the issue of cost of living, abductions, Finance Bill and money. That is what people should be discussing, not retrogressive talk."- Bosco Mutegi Kiura, Policy and Governance Expert #TV47Breakfast #StateOfTheNation @Fredindimuli

"I'm very worried of the United Opposition. If at all they have to win this election, they have to give us a presidential candidate by December. Times have changed. That narrative of 2022 cannot apply here. The people in the United Opposition, most of them are very selfish, for lack of a better word. Each and every person want to be a presidential candidate. Opposition's biggest enemy is within, not Ruto! Internal divisions, personal ambitions and lack of a clear agenda could be their biggest undoing ahead of 2027."- Bosco Mutegi Kiura, Policy and Governance Expert #TV47Breakfast #StateOfTheNation @Fredindimuli

"People say Matiang'i is a mole, and I think he might eventually join the government. It was very telling that President Ruto was not as harsh on him during his rally in Kisii. When competing against President Ruto, you need to be very prepared."- Robert Alai, MCA Kileleshwa #TV47Breakfast #StateOfTheNation @Fredindimuli @RobertAlai

"Matiang'i might end up joining Ruto because Gachagua keeps pushing the United Opposition. Gachagua has even been described as the prefect of the United Opposition. Ruto has mastered every candidate's weaknesses. If you're running against him, you need to put your arsenal in order because he knows your strengths and weaknesses. He's not an ordinary opponent to take on." - Bosco Mutegi Kiura, Policy and Governance Expert #TV47Breakfast #StateOfTheNation @Fredindimuli

"Uhuru Kenyatta has the financial resources and social networks to fundraise, while Rigathi Gachagua is a strong mobilizer. He could be the glue holding the Opposition together. President Ruto now finds himself facing two political figures that he is trying to fight: his former deputy, Gachagua, and his former boss, Uhuru. Uhuru throwing his dice around is a serious threat to Ruto." - Robert Alai, MCA Kileleshwa #TV47Breakfast #StateOfTheNation @Fredindimuli @RobertAlai

Uhuru's Unity Call "President Ruto is very uncomfortable with Uhuru Kenyatta because he feels the former president has beef with him. He thought Uhuru hated Rigathi Gachagua, but now that they are friends, he has realized that he is the one Uhuru has a problem with. That's why he feels unsettled whenever Uhuru appears in public and calls for unity against him." - Robert Alai, MCA Kileleshwa #TV47Breakfast #StateOfTheNation @Fredindimuli @RobertAlai

"If Uhuru's influence is something to go by, or if you think he has something to offer to help the United Opposition grab power, I mean, it's a fallacy. I don't think Uhuru and Ruto are enemies. As we move to 2027, Uhuru's influence may really not be something to take home about. Uhuru Kenyatta has very little sway in the next election. Whatever he says, people should not really bother with him."- Bosco Mutegi Kiura, Policy and Governance Expert #TV47Breakfast #StateOfTheNation @Fredindimuli

"About River Yala, it should be investigated. Somebody should be found culpable and somebody should go to jail. My law firm is currently working on the 1969 massacre. We want Kenyatta and his cabal held accountable, and the government to formally apologize. We want accountability and compensation for victims. We will also pursue the Wagalla massacre, the 1982 killings, and the 2007 post-election violence. Tell me any President who has ever accepted that there was a problem, established a panel and committed a budget towards compensation. President William Ruto has done it." - Joshua Nyamori, Advocate of the High Court #TV47Breakfast #StateOfTheNation @Fredindimuli
