Jubilee Secretary General Jeremiah Kioni has opined that Mt Kenya voters will bring down President William Ruto in the 2027 general elections.
"Let me tell you today, Mt Kenya people may not have taken part in the demos. They may not even take part in future demos. But the people that will force the guy out are from Mt Kenya," he said.
Kioni was speaking during an interview with Spice FM on Monday.
He noted that people from the mountain did not come out to be part of the anti-government demos that were led by the Azimio coalition earlier in 2023.
Kioni said because of the reluctance of Mt Kenya people to come out and join the demos, they were criticised harshly.
The Jubilee party secretary general said most residents from the region were disappointed with the Kenya Kwanza administration, even though they didn’t express their disappointment in street protests.
"The percentage of people who have said enough is enough is beyond anything we had imagined sometime last year," he said.
He acknowledged that the region heavily voted in the current regime.
He also said the people of the mountain will come out voluntarily to ensure no vote is stolen in the coming election.
"I want to tell you, even if William is the Chebukati, 2027 in Mt Kenya those votes will not be stolen," Kioni said.
Further, Kioni said part of the reason Azimio lost the last general election was the assumption that the residents would continue supporting the Jubilee party which was popular.
He said they thought the residents would support the party's quest as part of the Azimio Coalition.
"That was a terrible assumption," he said.
