President Ruto's Shift in Stance
President William Ruto has made a surprising move by befriending the 'Dynasties', a group of influential Kenyan leaders from families that have held top positions in the country.
This change in stance is unexpected, given Ruto's past criticism of the 'Dynasties' during his 2022 campaign.
Ruto had previously referred to the group, which includes the Kenyattas, Mois, and Odingas, as an "impenetrable alliance" and targeted them in his public messaging.
- The 'Dynasties' comprise families with a history of holding top leadership positions in Kenya.
- Ruto's sudden coziness with the group has left many confused and wondering about his motivations.
As the 2027 elections approach, Ruto's shift in stance has raised questions about his political strategy.
