Why Eric Theuri thinks William Ruto will he win the election in 2027?
On Tuesday, October 8, most members of the National Assembly voted to support Kibwezi West Member of Parliament Mutuse Mwengi's motion to remove the deputy president.
Responding to the expulsion of Gachagua, the former president of LSKEric Theuri, suggested that President William Ruto was responsible for the problems of the deputy president.
Theuri said that MPs being able to collect enough votes to remove the deputy president is proof that Ruto is a political expert.
The former LSK leader predicted that due to Ruto's current political tactics, he (Ruto) may rule for two terms.
“The history of this country may never witness a master of the political game of the type of the current president. Those who think that he is a one-term president, come back to your dreams,” said Theuri.
Did William Ruto instruct MPs to remove Gachagua?
During the debate, the Majority Leader of the National Assembly, Kimani Ichung'wah, denied Gachagua's claim that the president justified his dismissal.
According to the vocal member of parliament, the responsibility of executive management is in the hands of the National Assembly, and therefore, a process like removing the deputy president should not be seen as a surprising thing.
He said that the expulsion of Gachagua is the effort of the Parliament itself, and the president does not relationship whatever and that.
