Senior counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi has publicly criticized Deputy President Kithure Kindiki, urging President William Ruto to drop him from his 2027 presidential ticket.Abdullahi accused Kindiki of being a political liability who has lost the confidence of his Mt Kenya base and brings no value to the administration.The lawyer's remarks, shared widely on social media, highlight concerns about Kindiki's relevance ahead of the upcoming election.Abdullahi described Kindiki as 'a dead stock' and warned that his support is dwindling among key voters.

The comments add pressure on Ruto to reassess his running mate, especially after Kindiki's appointment in 2023 following Rigathi Gachagua's removal.

Analysts note the political implications of Abdullahi's attack, which could influence voter perceptions and coalition dynamics in Kenya's upcoming polls.
