  • On July 9, 2025, Kenyan President William Ruto strongly condemned efforts to unconstitutionally topple his administration amid ongoing anti-government protests.

  • Ruto condemned unidentified individuals for backing violent demonstrations intended to create disorder and force regime change, declaring that those responsible would face consequences and instructing security forces to use non-lethal force against aggressive protesters.
  • Opposition leaders called for boycotts and parliamentary impeachment motions, while President Ruto affirmed that leadership changes must occur through ballots, not violence.
