Speaking during a fundraiser in Malava constituency on Friday, July 18, Mudavadi stated that he had predicted Ruto would win the 2022 General Election.
He therefore called on the people of the Western region to believe him when he says that Ruto would secure a second term fairly in the 2027 General Election.
"I want to tell you again, because I have travelled around the country. I don't want to lie to my brothers and sisters from Malava, that even when you see all the things that are happening in the country, that when the election day comes, Honourable William Ruto would win the 2027 elections," Mudavadi said.
His bold declaration was met with cheers and applause from Malava residents who seemed to agree with his words.
How would William Ruto secure re-election?
Musalia added that Ruto would secure re-election through the democratic process and not through rigging, as some politicians are claiming.
"I want to tell those politicians, even those in the Kenya Kwanza Alliance, claiming that there is going to be stealing of votes, to stop that. Ruto is not going to steal elections. Ruto will be voted for fairly," Mudavadi stated.
He further called on the opposition to stop casting doubt on the integrity of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
The Prime Cabinet secretary further affirmed his trust in IEBC, expressing his confidence that it would conduct free and fair elections.
"IEBC would not allow stealing, and President Ruto is not going to steal the votes. He has not assigned anybody to steal the votes. Ruto will in a democratic way, kupitia kwa hiari ya wananchi. Let us stop bad politics," he said
Did Mudavadi warn politicians planning to steal votes for Ruto?
Mudavadi further distanced the Kenya Kwanza regime from the remarks made by politicians, claiming that they would steal votes for Ruto.
While calling out the politicians, Mudavadi affirmed that Ruto does not need to steal votes to secure re-election.
"If you are in Kenya Kwanza, don't talk about Ruto stealing votes. Talk about Ruto winning votes. This is the message we should be sending to our people. That is tarnishing the name of the Kenya Kwanza Alliance. We are not in the business of stealing votes. We are in the business of winning legitimate votes, and that is how Ruto is going to win the elections," Mudavadi said.
