Mutahi Ngunyi alleges two communities that will determine 2027 presidential winner

Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has made a bold claim about the dynamics of the 2027 election, stating that the Somali and Mulembe communities will play a decisive role in determining the outcome.

This statement, made on Ngunyi’s post on X, challenges the long-held belief that the Kikuyu community will always dominate the political landscape.

According to him, the influence of the Kikuyu community, which has been for decades, is slowly waning, paving the way for other regions to assert their power in shaping the country’s leadership.

This prediction aligns with the current political activities of key leaders such as President William Ruto and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua. Over the past week, Ruto has been actively touring Western Kenya, which is home to the Mulembe community.

During his visits, he has engaged with local leaders and launched various development projects, signaling his intention to strengthen ties with the region.

The Mulembe community has often been viewed as a critical voting bloc, and Ruto’s efforts suggest he is keen on solidifying their support ahead of 2027.

Meanwhile, Rigathi Gachagua appears to be taking a different approach, focusing on the Mount Kenya region.

In recent weeks, Gachagua has hinted at forming a new political party aimed at uniting Kikuyu leaders.

This move could be an attempt to reassert the region’s influence in national politics amidst the shifting dynamics. Gachagua’s push for unity and strategic alignment
