In a statement that has sparked widespread discussion, Savula asserted that the President would secure victory over opposition candidates by eight o’clock in the morning on polling day.
The outspoken county leader made these remarks in a social media post that has since gained significant traction among Kenyan netizens.
Savula’s confident projection suggests that the President’s support base across the country will turn out in massive numbers, delivering an overwhelming mandate that would render the contest essentially decided within hours of polling stations opening.
Political analysts view Savula’s statement as part of the growing confidence within the ruling coalition ahead of the 2027 polls.
