Just days after forming a broad-based government to unite Kenyans, President William Ruto continues to face challenges. Generation Z activists are still demanding his resignation and planning a large protest for August 8, 2024. Rumors indicate a diverse group is preparing to seize Nairobi’s Central Business District (CBD) on that day to call for Ruto’s step down.
Despite these threats, new evidence suggests President Ruto plans to hold a significant ceremony in Eldoret on the same day. Reliable sources reveal that Ruto intends to present Uasin Gishu Governor Jonathan Bii with the city charter, officially transforming Eldoret into a city. Leaders from the North Rift region have expressed their excitement about this development and are gathering in Eldoret to support the town’s elevation to city status.
Meanwhile, Gen Z activists remain resolute, insisting that their planned “Nane Nane” march in Nairobi’s CBD to demand President Ruto’s resignation will proceed as scheduled. Their determination highlights the ongoing political tension and the divided opinions on Ruto’s leadership.
