Cabinet Secretary Moses Kuria has stirred the Kenyan political scene with a significant prediction about the 2027 General Election. The outspoken CS has forecasted a highly competitive race that will, for the first time in history, proceed to a run-off, as no presidential candidate will secure the required 50% plus one vote threshold to claim an outright victory.
Kuria’s analysis points to a fundamentally fragmented political landscape where the traditional strongholds of the main coalitions—Kenya Kwanza and Azimio—will be insufficient to guarantee a first-round win. He suggests that the influence of emerging political players and a more discerning electorate will split the vote, making a second round not just a possibility, but an inevitability.
This prediction sends a clear signal to political strategists across the spectrum, indicating that the road to State House in 2027 will be longer and more complex than previous elections. It underscores the need for broader alliances and more inclusive policies to capture the widest possible voter base in a divided nation.
