In the face of dwindling support, President William Ruto claims he does not need to be popular.
President William Ruto popularity decline massively just one year after elections.
President William Ruto has told Kenya Kwanza Party MPs that he does not have to be popular all of the time.
During a Parliamentary Group meeting at State House, the president reportedly told lawmakers that he only needs to be liked when it matters.
Ruto told MPs that rising fuel costs, combined with a high cost of living, were driven by external causes outside his control.
It is no secret that Kenyans are getting dissatisfied with the government’s efforts to reduce the high cost of living.
This has resulted in a drop in President William Ruto’s popularity, despite the fact that he ran on a platform of cutting the high cost of living.
The head of state was allegedly addressed by MPs about the declining support during a Parliamentary Group meeting at State House on Tuesday, November 7.
According to NTV Kenya, the president disregarded the parliamentarians’ worries, claiming that he does not need to be popular all of the time.
Ruto, on the other hand, indicated that he just needs to be popular and have majority support when and where it matters.
