Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot is making a record-based argument for President William Ruto's re-election, and he made it in places he says the state long overlooked. Speaking at a public gathering in Kapiego, Cheruiyot praised Ruto for development projects in areas he described as historically neglected, including Lungalunga and parts of Nyanza.
The choice of examples matters. Nyanza is widely seen as opposition-leaning territory, so by pointing to projects there, Cheruiyot was arguing that the government's delivery reaches beyond its own base. The story does not name the specific projects, give their cost or status, or say how residents see them.
His broader point was that this record, not opposition criticism, will shape the contest. He dismissed the opposition's attacks on the President and argued that development will carry more weight with voters than their complaints.
What the story cannot supply is the other side. It quotes no opposition leader responding to the claim, offers no figures to test it, and gives no date for the gathering. Whether voters in the areas Cheruiyot named share his view is left open.
