Speaking on Tuesday, Wanjigi argued that growing public frustration over the state of the economy and governance has significantly weakened Ruto’s political standing across the country.
According to the businessman-turned-politician, many Kenyans are disappointed with the government and are preparing to vote for change when the country heads to the ballot.
Wanjigi claimed that even the president is aware that public support for his administration has declined sharply, but has chosen to continue with his re-election plans despite mounting criticism from sections of the public and opposition leaders.
The Safina Party leader also warned politicians who continue closely associating themselves with Ruto, saying they risk damaging their own political futures if they fail to distance themselves from the government before 2027.
According to Wanjigi, leaders supporting the current administration could face rejection alongside the president because of dissatisfaction among ordinary Kenyans over the high cost of living, unemployment, and concerns surrounding public services.
He accused the Kenya Kwanza administration of failing to adequately address major issues affecting citizens, particularly in the healthcare and education sectors.

Several leaders allied to the opposition have repeatedly accused the government of poor governance and failing to ease economic pressure on citizens.
However, President Ruto has consistently dismissed criticism from his rivals, insisting that his administration remains focused on delivering development projects and economic reforms across the country.
