Ruto Is Our Father, Mt Kenya Will Vote Early for Him in 2027, Says AIPCA Bishop

Rt. Rev. Bishop Simon Karatu, an Anglican Independent Pentecostal Church of Africa (AIPCA) bishop from Gatundu North, has publicly reaffirmed Mt Kenya’s political support for President William Ruto, dismissing growing speculation that the region could abandon him before the 2027 General Election.

Rt. Rev. Karatu made the remarks on Sunday during a church service, where he told congregants that Mt Kenya residents remain firmly behind the Head of State. He rejected claims circulating in political circles suggesting the region was reconsidering its loyalty to President Ruto.

Addressing the congregation, Bishop Karatu described President Ruto as a caring and attentive leader who listens to the concerns of ordinary citizens. He framed the relationship between the President and Mt Kenya residents as one built on trust, dialogue, and shared purpose.

“As our father, we shall bring all our needs to your attention because you love us. Some people were saying that our President Ruto should forget Mt Kenya votes. Mt Kenya is us,” Bishop Karatu said.

The cleric went further to assure the President that the region would not only support him but would also turn out in large numbers to vote early and decisively in his favour during the next election cycle.

Bishop Karatu urged President Ruto to remain focused on his development agenda and ignore political narratives suggesting weakening support in the vote-rich Mt Kenya region. He emphasized that loyalty to the President remained intact and unwavering.

“We want to assure our President that the person who was claiming that we shall not give you our votes, that early in the morning, we shall vote in our President to continue with work,” Karatu added.

He concluded his remarks with a strong message of unity and commitment, assuring President Ruto that Mt Kenya would continue walking with him politically.

“Amen, President Ruto, you should not worry. We love you and we shall continue with this journey together.”
