Why William Ruto Will Lose To Kalonzo Musyoka in 2027
By Ruzeki | Shadoww News | The WanTam Weekly | November 11, 2025
Let the 2022 election bury, once and for all, the mistaken notion that an incumbent cannot lose. That vote wasn’t an accident, it was the dawn of a new Kenya, a country where citizens, not systems, decide leadership.
William Ruto’s 7.2 million votes marked one of the largest totals in Kenyan history. Nearly half of them came from the Mt. Kenya region, a product of Rigathi Gachagua’s grassroots mobilization. Yet today, that very alliance lies in ruins. What was once an emotional movement of “hustlers” has collapsed under the weight of deception, arrogance, and betrayal. Two years into his presidency, even his most loyal followers have seen through the myth of “bottom-up.”
The Historical Pattern: Incumbents Fall Hard
Kenyan democracy has repeatedly defied incumbency. From the reintroduction of multiparty politics in 1992, every ruling regime that overstayed its welcome has faced electoral defeat or collapse.
- 1997: Moi’s system survived only through Nyayo magic, not genuine victory.
- 2002: The Moi-Uhuru project was crushed by the rainbow wave of Kibaki, Wamalwa, and Raila, unriggable.
- 2007: Kibaki lost narrowly to Raila’s Pentagon but clung to power through manipulation, triggering the post-election violence.
- 2013: Uhuru-Ruto won in a contest between government factions, riding on ICC fears, this was a “government vs government” election.
- 2017: The Uhuru-Ruto regime retained power but the Supreme Court nullified the result, confirming rigging.
- 2022: The Uhuru-Raila camp lost to the Ruto-Gachagua ticket, despite rigging efforts. The scheme, involving the Cherera Four and the National Security Council, was exposed and broadcasted live, revealing the extent of the manipulation.
Now comes 2027, where history will repeat itself. The incumbent (Ruto — blood-based) will face the united opposition of Kalonzo Musyoka, Feed Matiang’i, Natembeya-Wamalwa and Rigathi Gachagua, a coalition too broad, too determined, and too unriggable to defeat.
And if President William Ruto dares rig by force, as Justice Johann Kriegler once warned, “2007 will look like a Christmas party.” The Gen Z revolt of June 25, the uprisings in Nepal and Madagascar, they’ll look like mere rehearsals.
Ruto’s Collapsing Base: From Hustlers to Hostages
Of Ruto’s 7.2 million votes, around two million came from his Kalenjin base, a bloc likely to remain largely loyal out of the “mtu wetu” effect. But his other backbone, Mt. Kenya is completely gone.
Nearly 47% of his total 2022 vote came from Kikuyus, but his open hostility toward their community and humiliation of Rigathi Gachagua has poisoned that bond. The mountain has since moved to support their cousin, Kalonzo Musyoka.
In 2027, Kalonzo Musyoka will outperform Raila or Ruto's 2022 numbers across nearly every county. The youth are restless, the payslip owners are angry, and the educated class — once hopeful — now feels betrayed.
Why Voters Have Turned
Ruto’s presidency is synonymous with deception.
- Payslip theft: excessive taxation and levies.
- Unemployment: double-digit rates, jobs auctioned to the highest bidder.
- Oppression: abductions, police brutality, and fear politics.
- Corruption: normalized and celebrated.
- Foreign interference: fueling wars in Sudan, Eastern DRC, and Somalia.
- Bad allies: Museveni, Suluhu — East Africa’s new autocratic trio.
As The Standard Newspaper recently observed, East Africa under Ruto, Museveni, and Suluhu eerily mirrors the 1930s Europe of Adolf Hitler, Mussolini, and Antonescu.
Ruto’s arrogance, his obsession with being “the smartest in the room” because of a PhD in plants, only deepens the disconnect. He’s auctioning parastatals to cronies and silencing critics while preaching virtue.
A perfect example of who Ruto is: he recently mourned Raila Odinga more than his own family did, despite having once tried to crush Raila’s life during the 2023 protests, insulting him relentlessly day and night. Ruto is arguably the most deceptive politician in Africa, constantly changing his stance depending on what suits his political interests.
The People’s Hope: Kalonzo Musyoka
Kenyans want calm. They want dignity. They want unity, not daily political warfare. And that longing finds a natural home in Dr. Kalonzo Musyoka — The People’s Hope.
He's seen as Mr. Constitution, a man who can restore decency, order and legality to the State House. His priorities will be simple but transformative:
- Restore dignity to the payslip.
- End abductions and police killings.
- Deliver justice for victims of brutality.
- Create real jobs and stop exploitative levies.
- Fix healthcare, education, and university funding.
- Empower devolution.
- Tackle corruption with law, not empty rhetoric.
- Rebuild Kenya’s international credibility.
- Revoke the shady deals surrounding the auctioning of our state parastatals, among other questionable transactions.
This 71 year-old Senior Counsel represents the return of leadership guided by law and order, not propaganda, handouts and lies.
When Did Ruto Actually Lose?
That question defines this upcoming election more than any poll ever will. Ruto lost:
✓ When voters realized he was much worst than the system he opposed in 2022.
✓ When he turned his guns on the youth.
✓ When he impeached his own deputy.
✓ When he failed to deliver even a half of his promises.
✓ When he raided people's payslip and force things on Kenyans.
Ruto's real defeat began the day Kenyans stopped believing him, even when he told the truth. The trust deficit is through the roof.
The WanTam Verdict
In 2027, Ruto will face the storm he helped create. The Gen Z revolution won’t be bought with handouts. The middle class and any payslip owner won’t fall for deception twice. The 'hustler' tag will be seen as a sin. The mountain will not rise for him again. And the lake is torn between risking their support for Ruto or showing gratitude to Kalonzo for his unwavering loyalty and friendship to the late Raila Odinga.
Kenya is ready for decency. For calm. For order. For justice.
That’s why Kalonzo Musyoka — The People’s Hope — will become the sixth President of Kenya on August 10, 2027.
Ruto can try to stage a comeback in 2032, but for now, the WanTam movement has one message for him:
Your time is up. WanTam means WanTam, na si tafadhali⚠️
