Cabinet Secretary Geoffrey Ruku has publicly addressed the Orange Democratic Movement’s (ODM) aspirations for the Deputy President’s seat, making it clear that the position is not currently open.
Speaking recently, CS Ruku stated that if ODM desires the Deputy Presidency, they will have the opportunity to hold that office in 2032, when Kithure Kindiki is projected to become President.
However, for the time being, the seat remains occupied and is not up for grabs.
This statement reflects the ongoing political negotiations and positioning ahead of Kenya’s 2027 and 2032 general elections.
CS Ruku’s remarks underscore the current political alliances and the power dynamics at play within the ruling coalition and opposition parties.
By specifying 2032 as the year ODM could potentially hold the Deputy President’s position, Ruku signals a long-term vision that factors in the anticipated leadership transitions.
His comments also serve as a reminder that political ambitions must be tempered with patience and respect for existing officeholders.
The Deputy President’s seat is a crucial role in Kenya’s political structure, often seen as a stepping stone to the presidency itself.
As such, competition for this position remains a key strategic focus for major political parties like ODM and their rivals.
