Hustler out! Ruto welcomes the dreaded 'Dynasties' as 2027 draws near

This move has surprised many, given Ruto's criticism of them during his last campaign season. In the lead-up to the 2022 general election, Ruto, then the deputy president, targeted the 'Dynasty' in his public messaging, referring to the families of the Kenyattas, the Mois, and the Odingas as a powerful and exclusive alliance.
