KANU YOUTH REBELLION ERUPTS OVER GIDEON–RUTO ALLIANCE 🗞️

Описание: The Kenya African National Union, KANU, is grappling with internal upheaval after its Youth Congress publicly rejected the political partnership between Chairman Gideon Moi and President William Ruto, terming it a violation of the party’s founding ideals. In a detailed statement issued on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, the youth wing declared that it “fully dissociates” from the alliance, accusing the government of systemic corruption, human rights abuses, and disregard for the rule of law. The statement, signed by Chairperson Shanice Chibeka Matara and other youth officials, emphasized that no political coalition can justify governance that undermines accountability and transparency.

The youth leaders called on the government to focus on pressing national needs — including healthcare, education reform, industrialization, and youth employment — instead of pursuing what they described as “political hypocrisy under the guise of a broad-based government.” They further urged Kenyan youth to register as voters and use their ballots to demand justice, equity, and responsible leadership. This development follows a sharp political twist involving Gideon Moi’s withdrawal from the Baringo Senatorial by-election, just days after KANU had officially endorsed his candidacy on October 2, 2025. The withdrawal came shortly after Moi’s private meetings with President Ruto at Kabarak and State House, where sources say discussions centered on national unity and completion of stalled development projects in Baringo County.

The alliance has however triggered an open revolt within KANU, with the youth congress accusing Moi of abandoning the party’s independence and joining forces with an administration they claim contradicts KANU’s values. Political analysts say the move reflects both pragmatism and desperation, as Moi seeks to reposition himself ahead of 2027 while risking alienation from his youthful base. As the tension escalates, the party faces one of its most defining moments — between aligning with power for political survival or standing by its legacy as a voice of constitutionalism and reform.
