Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has called on political leaders to halt early campaigns for the 2027 general election and instead focus on delivering services to Kenyans.
Speaking at his Karen residence during a meeting with leaders from Kiambu County, Kindiki emphasized that the government’s priority should be development, not political rhetoric.
“It is now time to work and serve Kenyans. When the time for elections comes, we will deal with those who seek to distract us. Let them know that Kenyans will judge us based on our work, not empty talk,” he said.
The Deputy President urged Kenyans to ignore politicians engaging in early campaigns, noting that some of them failed to deliver when they were in office.
His remarks come amid growing political realignments and speculations over the 2027 elections.
During the meeting, Kindiki also addressed concerns over healthcare services, assuring that the government is committed to resolving challenges within the Social Health Authority.
He reiterated that the administration is working to streamline health services for efficient and seamless delivery.
Additionally, he called for support for the new university funding model, stating that the restructured financial aid system will ensure that students from vulnerable backgrounds are not left behind.
The Deputy President reaffirmed the government’s commitment to implementing priority national projects, urging leaders to work together in addressing the needs of Kenyans instead of engaging in early electioneering.
