PSA: ENDORSEMENT & CAMPAIGN STRATEGY ANNOUNCEMENT BY ARMSTRONG OBRIAN ONGERA, STRATEGIST, POLLSTER AND SENIOR RESEARCH FELLOW-DI and @KehosaInstitute
I believe H.E. President William Ruto has delivered on and, in several respects, exceeded his commitments, showing strong leadership and vision for Kenya’s development. I therefore formally endorse his re-election.
I also present our international think-tank under the @DIStatecraft (Democracy Institute (DI) )– @iTargetMediaCom, through our program:
“Campaign Options: 10 Keys to Victory™.”
Active since 2001, this framework has supported political campaign success for decades, grounded in experience and measurable results.
We provide strategic advisory and campaign management for:
- Presidential candidates

Our principle is simple: victory is the only objective.
