Kuria took to his official X account on Tuesday, September 22, 2026, shortly after Uhuru made fresh comments about the disputed election at Jubilee Party headquarters in Nairobi.
In his assessment of presidential elections held during Kenya’s multiparty era, Kuria said William Ruto was the person he considered to have won the 2022 presidential election.
"I have been involved in all Presidential Elections in the multiparty era. This is how I rate them," Kuria wrote before listing his assessment of elections dating back to 1992.
He described the 1992 and 1997 elections as victories for the late President Daniel arap Moi, although he argued that opposition divisions played a major role.
For 2002, Kuria said Mwai Kibaki won what he described as a free and fair election.
He then gave Raila Odinga credit for winning the 2007 and 2013 presidential elections in his assessment.
According to Kuria, Uhuru Kenyatta won the 2017 election, adding that the Supreme Court's decision following the presidential petition was based on technicalities.
For 2022, however, Kuria was unequivocal.
"2022, William Ruto won," he stated, ending his post with the phrase, “Ni hayo tu kwa sasa.”
Kuria's comments came hours after Uhuru publicly revisited the 2022 contest. The former president said at the Jubilee handover event that Raila Odinga had actually won the election and argued that Jubilee and its allies had done everything possible to support his presidential bid.
Officially, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission declared Ruto the winner with 7,176,141 votes against Raila's 6,942,930. The Supreme Court subsequently upheld the result.
Kuria's latest remarks therefore put him at odds with Uhuru's account of what happened in the 2022 presidential race, adding another voice to a debate that has resurfaced four years after the election.
