President William Ruto's aide Farouk Kibet with Senate majority leader Aaron Cheruiyot in Kisii in July 30, 2026/COURTESYAllies of President William Ruto have stepped up grassroots mobilisation campaigns in Western and Nyanza regions as they seek to consolidate support for his re-election bid ahead of the 2027 General Election.
The latest campaign activities saw President Ruto's aide Farouk Kibet, Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot and several Kenya Kwanza leaders traverse Nyamira and Kakamega counties, where they promoted the government's development agenda and urged residents to back the President for a second term.
Speaking during an interdenominational choirs empowerment drive in Kitutu Masaba Constituency, Nyamira County, Kibet said the Kenya Kwanza administration was committed to ensuring every part of the country benefited from equitable development.
"President William Ruto's agenda is to ensure that every part of Kenya benefits from inclusive development through equitable distribution of resources and opportunities," he said.
He said the government was focused on strengthening partnerships with communities while implementing programmes aimed at improving livelihoods and expanding economic opportunities.
Kibet said engagements with wananchi were also helping the administration understand local priorities while building support for its development agenda.
"Through such engagements, we continue strengthening partnerships, empowering communities and building strong ties for a brighter and more prosperous future for all Kenyans," he said.
The event was attended by nominated MPs Beatrice Adagala, Dorice Donya, Jaheer Jhanda, Essy Okenyuru, Linet Chepkorir, Kitutu Masaba MP Clive Gisairo, Steve Mogaka, Jerusha Momanyi and other leaders.

Addressing residents, the leaders highlighted government projects and reaffirmed their commitment to inclusive growth, improved service delivery and economic empowerment.
Kibet thanked residents for turning out in large numbers and said the administration remained committed to delivering on its campaign promises across the country.
"I thank the people of Malava for their warm reception, valuable contributions and unwavering commitment to the region's development," he said.
The visits come as Kenya Kwanza leaders intensify political engagements across the country, with senior government officials and elected leaders increasingly combining development tours with political mobilisation ahead of the 2027 elections.
The ruling coalition has maintained that its re-election campaign will be anchored on its record in government, citing investments in infrastructure, affordable housing, agriculture, healthcare, education and economic empowerment programmes.
The renewed grassroots engagements also come as political parties continue positioning themselves for the 2027 contest, with both the ruling coalition and the opposition seeking to strengthen support in key voting blocs across the country.
