I am just being informed that on Thursday, 12th November 2026, Kilimo Cha Haki will be presenting the final submissions on the petition challenging the Seeds and Plant Varieties Act at the High Court, Kisumu. This is the murderous act seeking to criminalize indigenous seeds for GMOs. Kilimo Cha Haki is calling for your solidarity on Thursday.
William Ruto's 7.2 million votes in 2022 look intimidating only when you ignore the political coalition, regional alliances and grassroots machinery that delivered them.
Those votes were not an individual political achievement.
They were a product of a broad coalition that can be dismantled.
Let us do the arithmetic.
Start by taking away approximately 3 million Kikuyu votes.
Remember, roughly 40% of Ruto's support came from the Mt. Kenya voting bloc.
Remove another 2 million votes attributed to Nairobi, where his campaign machinery was practically operating on every street corner, with political brokers, hustlers and grassroots mobilisers selling his candidature.
Suddenly, the celebrated 7.2 million becomes approximately 2.2 million.
A significant portion of that remainder came from the Kalenjin community, alongside scattered support from other regions.
Now consider the opposition's potential electoral arithmetic.
Take the 3 million Kikuyu voters who backed Ruto in 2022 and assume they move to the opposition. Add 600,000 Kisii votes, 400,000 Luo votes, 2.5 million Kamba votes, another 1 million Kikuyu votes and 2.5 million Luhya votes that supported Raila Odinga in 2022.
The political equation changes completely.
William Ruto cannot defeat a united opposition in a genuinely competitive election.
His biggest political advantage was the coalition that brought him to power.
Break that coalition, and his numbers become vulnerable.
I have a serious warning for Rigathi Gachagua, HE Kalonzo Musyoka, Edwin Sifuna & JB Muturi and the entire opposition establishment.
STOP CELEBRATING. START ORGANISING.
Do not mistake favourable political arithmetic for an election victory.
Do not confuse mammoth rallies with electoral preparedness.
Do not spend the next several months fighting over presidential tickets while ignoring the institution that will determine whether the people's choices are respected.
@IEBCKenya IS THE REAL BATTLEFIELD.
The opposition must stop treating electoral integrity as a technical conversation for lawyers and election observers.
It is the foundation upon which every political ambition rests.
Who is protecting the voters register?
Who is securing the polling stations?
Who is monitoring the KIEMS kits?
Who is independently verifying results at every polling station?
Who is tracking the transmission of results?
Who is preparing to challenge irregularities before they become irreversible?
These are the questions opposition leaders should be answering now.
I have no doubt that in a free, fair, transparent, credible and verifiable election, William Ruto would face an uphill battle against a united opposition.
Even a fragmented opposition would present him with a serious challenge.
But let us be brutally honest: YOU CAN WIN THE POLITICAL ARGUMENT AND STILL LOSE THE ELECTION IF YOU FAIL TO PROTECT THE VOTE.
Elections are not won on WhatsApp groups, Twitter spaces, political rallies or declarations of popularity.
They are won when every vote is properly cast, accurately counted, transparently transmitted and lawfully declared.
Rigathi Gachagua, Kalonzo Musyoka, Sifuna and the entire opposition fraternity: build the coalition, agree on the strategy, deploy competent agents, invest in independent verification and demand accountability from IEBC.
Do not wait until election night to discover that you prepared for a political contest but neglected an electoral war.
A UNITED OPPOSITION MUST NOT JUST BE READY TO WIN. IT MUST BE READY TO DEFEND EVERY VOTE.
You can mobilise millions of Kenyans, fill stadiums and command enormous political support.
But if you cannot guarantee that their votes will count, you are not preparing for victory.
You are preparing another generation of Kenyans for disappointment.
The battle for State House begins long before election day.
It begins with IEBC.
Sovereign debt is NOT LEGITIMATE merely because a government has INCURRED it. Its legitimacy must also be examined against the LAWFULNESS of its AUTHORIZATION, the circumstances in which it was contracted, the PURPOSES for which it was incurred, the USE of its proceeds, and the interests of THE PEOPLE upon whom repayment obligations are imposed.

A passionate plea from Kenya to Bayern Munich and Ajax Amsterdam; do not prop up a colonial dictator, facilitated by the US, Britain, Germany, France, Norway, The Netherlands and UAE to loot and kill Kenyans.
The damage to your brands will be irreparable.
He kills critics. Doesnโt pay teachers and doctors. And the very stadium youโre meant to play on, has its construction costs inflated 1000-times over.
Refund those appearance fees NOW! Terminate contracts with the fraudulent match-agents who engineered the match.
Cut your losses before itโs too late.

We ,as fellow country men are women are compliant with the oppression if the only thing we can do is post a "Pole" or a tear emoji as our country mirrors our neighbouring countries. #exposetherot#Draintheswamp
IN KENYA, EXPOSING CORRUPTION CAN COST YOU YOUR FREEDOM, YOUR HEALTH, AND POSSIBLY YOUR LIFE.
Ezra Gacheru became known for doing what many people fear to do.
He carried a camera along our highways, confronted police officers taking bribes from motorists, and reminded them of a simple truth: a uniform is not a licence to steal from the very people you are sworn to protect.
He carried no gun.
He commanded no army.
He had a camera, a voice, and the courage to say what millions of Kenyans whisper in frustration.
Yesterday, Ezra was arrested and taken to Juja Police Station.
Now, he has reportedly been found in hospital, nursing very serious injuries.
A man who stood on our highways confronting corruption is now lying in a hospital bed, and a country that watched him fight for accountability is demanding to know what happened to him.
Who injured Ezra?
What happened after his arrest?
Who was responsible for his safety while in custody?
These are not questions the police can wish away.
They demand urgent, independent and transparent answers.
There is something deeply disturbing about a country where the people who expose wrongdoing can end up more vulnerable than those accused of committing it.
Where does a whistleblower run when the very institution he challenges is also the institution expected to protect him?
Ezra Gacheru did not deserve to be harmed for speaking out. No Kenyan should have to choose between remaining silent about corruption and risking their own safety.
If we punish courage and reward silence, corruption will not merely survive. It will become untouchable.
Ezra's injuries must not become another forgotten story.
His arrest must not disappear into police files.
His voice must not be silenced by fear.
I have been suspended from the @Senate_KE for three sitting days for REFUSING to withdraw the word โyappingโ in describing the Presidentโs ROADSIDE declaration on undocumented immigrants.
I respect the Chair, but I will not surrender the constitutional duty to speak truth to power.
Article 135 requires PRESIDENTIAL decisions made under the Constitution to be in WRITING , SEALED and SIGNED. A roadside utterance cannot acquire the force of law simply because it comes from the President.
If calling out UNCONSTITUTIONAL governance is punishable, then the greater danger is not the word โyappingโ. It is the growing intolerance for accountability.
Three days outside the Chamber will not silence me. I will continue to defend the Constitution and the Kenyan people. https://t.co/PkvYwrBgq5

PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, SPEAK FOR DR. KIZZA BESIGYE WHILE HE IS STILL ALIVE.
Yesterday, Dr. Kizza Besigye collapsed in court.
Think about that for a moment.
A 70-year-old man who has spent more than a year in detention collapsed before the very system that is keeping him behind bars.
He was carried away in an ambulance, and the world watched.
And I keep asking myself:
What exactly are we waiting for?
Are we waiting for Besigye to die?
Are we waiting for his coffin to be brought out of prison?
Are we waiting for African presidents to suddenly discover that he was a hero?
Are we waiting for foreign dignitaries to fly into Kampala, stand beside his body and deliver beautiful speeches about democracy?
Because that is what Africa has become painfully good at.
We mourn the dead with extraordinary courage while abandoning the living with extraordinary silence.
Where are the African leaders?
Where are the opposition parties?
Where are the human-rights organisations?
Where are the churches?
Where are the lawyers?
Where are the people who claim to believe in democracy?
Where are the people who will tweet #RIPBesigye after his death but cannot tweet #FreeBesigye while he is alive?
Dr. Besigye has spent years challenging power through politics.
He has contested elections, endured arrests and persecution, and remained one of Uganda's most prominent opposition figures.
Then came Nairobi.
He disappeared in Kenya in November 2024 and was subsequently produced in Uganda, where he was charged and detained.
His lawyers and supporters have consistently challenged the circumstances of his removal and detention.
Now his health is deteriorating.
And yesterday, his body itself sounded the alarm.
How many more alarms do we need?
How many more hospital visits?
How many more court appearances?
How many more rejected bail applications?
How much more suffering before Africa decides that a human life is more important than political power?
Let us stop waiting for the funeral.
Speak now.
Speak while Besigye can still hear you.
Speak while his family can still hold him.
Speak while his lawyers can still fight for him.
Speak while there is still a living man behind that prison wall.
Because one day, if Besigye dies in detention, there will be no shortage of people lining up to call him a freedom fighter.
They will write books about his courage.
They will name streets after him.
They will give speeches about his sacrifice.
They will tell us how much they admired him.
But Besigye does not need our admiration from a podium after death.
He needs our courage today.
Africa, this is not the time to be polite.
This is not the time to look away.
This is not the time to wait for permission to speak.
A political prisoner is not a political inconvenience. He is a human being.
And if we cannot speak when a man is suffering in detention, then our speeches about democracy, freedom and human rights are nothing more than noise.
Speak for Kizza Besigye.
Speak loudly.
Speak now.
Before history asks us the question we will never be able to answer:
โYou knew he was suffering. Why did you remain silent?โ
#FreeKizzaBesigye
#SpeakForBesigye
We have moved to the High Court to put an end to an unacceptable illegality that continues to bleed our country dry.
The IMF and the World Bank must operate under the Kenyan Constitution, or they must leave.

We are the same people of 2007, right???Don't seat there waiting for God to wisk the evil that overtaketh!!Take your position because the truth is in the open..twende nalo
A police officer told me he is a born-again Christian who has never killed anyone or taken a bribe.
He says he has always chosen to live with integrity out of respect for his father, who sacrificed everything to educate him.
He told us today that, according to him, many police officers from communities other than the Kikuyu are deeply uncomfortable with what they are allegedly being asked to do and have no intention of taking part.
He claims that only a small number have agreed, because they have been promised positions, favors, and other benefits by the state.
He insists there is currently no violence but believes there are plans to trigger unrest immediately after voting, while the counting of ballots is still underway during the 2027 General Election.
The plan to manipulate the election is extensive and involves some @IEBCKenya officials, whom he says are predominantly Somali and Kalenjin, together with a few Luo officers, allegedly working alongside state agents.
He says he shared these concerns with church leaders because he believes there is a deliberate plan to manipulate the election while simultaneously provoking violence.
According to him, patriotic officers within the National Police Service, the DCI, and the NIS quietly pass such information to trusted church leaders.
He believes this intelligence, rather than divine revelation, is what some people later present as visions or prophecies.
@AokoOtieno_ Congratulations ๐ @AokoOtieno_ .May your blessings be kind to you and give you the opportunity to love him without frustration of loss of sleep and upset tummy ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ
In the government of the people that we shall soon build, we will erect a national monument bearing the names of these selfless comrades who gave their lives simply because they believed Kenya could be better. They marched not for power or privilege, but for a country that works for the good of its people. A country where justice is not reserved for the highest bidder, where politicians compete through ideas instead of hiring goons to terrorise fellow citizens, where public policy creates jobs, lowers the cost of doing business, shifts government spending from consumption to development, fixes our education system, and guarantees every child a fair chance in life. It will stand as a permanent reminder that the freedoms and future we inherit were paid for by ordinary Kenyans who asked for nothing more than a functioning society.
