President William Ruto warned police officers in Nairobi not to be drawn into partisan politics as Kenya prepares for the 2027 general election, Capital FM reported.
The warning came as the country readies for its next national election, with the police force playing a key role in maintaining public order and ensuring a peaceful electoral process.
Ruto emphasised that the police must remain impartial and avoid any involvement in political campaigns or party activities, underscoring the importance of neutrality during the electoral period.
Kenya’s 2027 election will be the next major political event in the East African nation, following the 2022 general election that saw Ruto elected president.
No further details were provided in the Capital FM report, and no official statement from the police service was released at the time of writing.
