“Na huyu rais atachaguliwa na vitendo. Huyu amewaambia nitafanya hii na hii. Kwa afanya nitafanya hii, kwa elimu nitafanya hii, kwa affordable housing nitafanya hii na mkamchagua. Ikifika wakati wa Kura, nyinyi ndio mtasahiisha hiyo mtahani.
“Na hakuna mtihani unaitwa Ruto Must Go. Hakuna mitahani katika manifesto yetu ambayo inasema Wantam (One-Term). Msiskize wale watu wa porojo,” he said.
Duale emphasised that voters are no longer swayed by empty slogans or “politics of fear.”

He urged Kenyans to focus on leaders’ actions and concrete achievements rather than chants like Wantam or Ruto Must Go.
“Kenyans are paying attention. They see the projects, the jobs, the houses, the healthcare access. These are the things that matter,” he added.
Kenyans are aware and vigilant.
The Health CS reminded attendees that the people of Kenya are awake and vigilant, able to assess which leaders deliver results.
He noted that politics should unite rather than divide and that efforts to mislead citizens with tribal narratives or shallow slogans will no longer work.
Speaking from the State House, Duale highlighted that the government is committed to transparency and action.
He encouraged citizens from all counties and communities to engage with State House programs like SHA, noting that such initiatives reflect real, tangible benefits that go beyond campaign rhetoric.
Duale’s message comes at a time when discussions around the 2027 elections are intensifying, with the opposition promoting One-Term politics, while the government continues to showcase nationwide development projects.
His warning was clear: slogans will not win votes; results and impact will.
Kenyans, he said, must vote with evidence and not hearsay, ensuring that those elected genuinely serve the interests of the people and the country.
