In the post, Njoroge wrote that the things Ruto has done in his first term are so terrible, that only a president serving his last term with nothing to lose would attempt to do them. She then asked Kenyans to imagine what would happen if he got a second term.
The post featured a quote attributed to Sifuna: "If youths allow Ruto another chance in 2027, as he promises that they will be the leaders in 2032, no young person may live to see 2032. Those who have lost their lives during this single term are the very people who would have been tomorrow's leaders."
Sifuna's remarks appear to reference the deaths of young protesters during anti-government demonstrations in Ruto's first term, and Ruto's promise that young people will take over leadership by 2032.
Reactions in the comment section were sharply divided. Supporters of Sifuna praised him, with some calling him "Sifuna the sixth" and saying he will reach the ballot. Others questioned the promise of youth leadership in 2032, with one commenter noting that Sifuna is 45 years old and still calls himself a youth.
Supporters of the President pushed back strongly. Several commenters repeated the "2Tam" slogan, meaning Ruto deserves two terms, and insisted they would still vote for him in 2027 despite the criticism. Others dismissed the post as political desperation ahead of the election.
The exchange reflects the growing online battle for the youth vote ahead of 2027, with both sides using social media to frame the future of the country.
