Amisi vows to make Ruto one-term president
Saboti Member of Parliament Caleb Amisi has declared his intention to rally Kenyans against President William Ruto’s re-election bid in 2027, vowing to ensure he becomes a one-term president.
Speaking during a women’s empowerment event at Lukhome ward in Saboti constituency on Sunday, August 3, 2025, Amisi said that Ruto would be the first president to serve only one term.

“Mweshimiwa William Ruto tunaenda kukufanya ukuwe one term,tutafanya Ruto awe rais wa kwanza kuenda wantam,” Amisi vowed.
The outspoken MP has been accusing Ruto of failing to address the needs of ordinary Kenyans, citing the high cost of living, economic hardship, and growing public dissatisfaction with his administration.
Amisi on Ruto’s re-election
This is not the first time the vocal MP vowed to unseat Ruto in the next general election.
Speaking during a fundraiser in Kabuchai, Bungoma County, on Sunday, July 13, 2025, he declared that they do not need support from the opposition team led by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua to win the 2027 elections.
Amisi said he has joined forces with youthful leaders such as Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Bumula MP Jack Wamboka, and Kabuchai MP Majimbo Kalasinga to liberate the region from the influence of Moses Wetang’ula and Musalia Mudavadi and to prevent them from aligning the region with President Ruto.
“Western inaenda kupewa mweleko na Edwin Sifuna, Caleb Amisi Majimbo Kalasinga wanami wamboka na wengine watakuja kujiunga baadaemko tayari vijana wawakomboe,” Amisi said.
He maintained that their team is strong enough and does not require the support of the Gachagua-led opposition to send Ruto home.
“We are enough; we don’t need even team Wamunyoro sisi pekee yetu. We are enough to send Ruto home,” Amisi added.
Amisi stated that the region has been tightly controlled by Wetang’ula and Mudavadi, but a new generation of young leaders has emerged, ready to take over and reshape the political direction of Western Kenya.
Amisi’s political game
Despite being a member of ODM, which is part of the broad-based government, the lawmaker has been criticising Ruto’s leadership.
Speaking during an interview with a local TV station on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, Amisi said he will quit the Orange Democratic Movement Party should it continue to collaborate with Kenya Kwanza’s government.
“If ODM continues collaborating with William Ruto, then I will not seek re-election on that party. But if it pulls out, realigns, and retraces its steps back to its roots, then we can agree,” Amisi said.
