The Standard newspaper headline about former President Uhuru Kenyatta's move to promote his brother, Muhoho Kenyatta, for the 2027 presidential race has sparked mixed reactions from Kenyans.
The headline, "Uhuru to Front Muhoho in 2027," has generated significant buzz, with some calling the move insane. The article suggests that the Kenyatta family plans to have another one of their sons run for the highest office in the country.
Some have, however, dismissed the newspaper headline as sponsored and intended to influence political direction. The Kenyatta family's move comes amid a strained relationship between the former Head of State and the current administration. Additionally, there are accusations that the former President is behind the ongoing protests aimed at destabilizing the current government.
