Despite the friendly nature of the meeting, some Kenyans expressed mixed opinions about what could have caused the two to reconcile, especially towards the 2027 elections.

Heco He Wise said:

“He is still defeated and cannot change; no matter how many times he tries to seek 'advice', his pride cannot allow advice to enter his mind.”

Enock Washi said:

“He is looking for information on how to run the government. Pride has dropped a bit. While Uhuru was struggling alone with the same government, Ruto was trying to influence Mount Kenya.”

Wandere Njewade Mary said:

“That's why it's good to respect everyone, regardless of status. We don't know tomorrow. Being respectful and humble is the best thing.”

Ronny Mutuma said:

“Hurry up, someone find him Rigathi Gachagua and gave him the microphone! A son of Mau Mau should hear this immediately. What is happening is amazing—absolutely! And you just know his answers will be hilarious. Let him say; we are all waiting!”

Japhet Muriuki said:

“The reconciliation between President Ruto and former President Kenyatta benefits national unity, stability, and enables the country to focus together to address national development priorities.”
