Caleb Amisi Threatens to Impeach Ruto if He Wins 2027 Election

People’s Renaissance Movement (PRM) party leader Caleb Amisi has vowed to lead an impeachment campaign against President William Ruto if he wins re-election in 2027, claiming his party is targeting 233 seats in the National Assembly.

Amisi said divisions within the opposition could give Ruto another term, arguing that opposition leaders risk losing the presidential contest if they fail to unite behind a common strategy.

The Saboti MP maintained that his newly launched party would be ready to hold the president accountable if Kenyans returned him to State House.

“What we are saying as a party is that the opposition is making mistakes. They are not united. If they make a mistake and William Ruto comes back, our party has got you. Why? Because we want to have 233 members of parliament,” Amisi said.

He urged Kenyans seeking political change to support PRM candidates in parliamentary races, arguing that winning 233 seats would give the party the numbers it needs to advance its agenda.

Amisi Says PRM Would Move to Impeach Ruto

Amisi said his party would seek to impeach Ruto if the president secured another term in the 2027 General Election.

The lawmaker made the declaration while outlining his party’s ambitions, suggesting that PRM would use its anticipated parliamentary strength to challenge the president’s leadership.

“William Ruto comes back, he puts down the Bible, then we impeach him. Whether or not he has stolen or done what, we will impeach him,” Amisi said.

His remarks signal an aggressive political strategy centred on parliamentary numbers and accountability, although any impeachment attempt would still have to follow the constitutional process and meet the required legal and parliamentary thresholds.

Amisi Warns Other Opposition Presidential Aspirants

Amisi also warned opposition figures seeking to succeed Ruto that they could face similar impeachment efforts if elected and subsequently failed to meet their responsibilities.

He named Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, former Chief Justice David Maraga and former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua among the potential presidential candidates who would not be exempt from scrutiny.

According to Amisi, winning an election should not shield a leader from accountability if they abuse power or oversee actions that violate citizens’ rights.

“You bring a new person, say Kalonzo, Sifuna, Maraga or Gachagua, then they fail in their work, start killing youths, power gets into their heads. We will impeach them,” he said.

The remarks reflect Amisi’s position that his party would seek to hold any future president accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.

Amisi Doubts Sifuna’s Chances Against Ruto

In a related development, Amisi claimed Ruto would comfortably defeat Sifuna if the Nairobi senator were selected as the opposition’s presidential candidate in the 2027 General Election.

The Saboti lawmaker questioned whether Sifuna’s political team had the structures and strategy required to mount a competitive nationwide campaign.

He criticised the senator’s inner circle, accusing some of those around him of prioritising social media popularity, likes and followers over building a serious political movement.
