President William Ruto is expected to address the country today at 7 pm amid political tensions ahead of the 2027 general elections. The Special State of the Nation address will be his third since assuming power in September 2022. Ruto's last national address was his New Year's address on December 31, 2025, where he focused on transitions toward job creation and poverty reduction. During today's special address to the country, the head of state will focus on economic transformation, global comparisons, and citizen ambition, according to the state house communication team. However, the president is also expected to address political matters, especially amid ongoing speculation over his next preferred running mate, political violence, and other issues.
