Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka criticized President William Ruto's State of the Nation address on November 20, 2025, for failing to address rule of law and constitutional concerns. At an opposition rally in Malava on November 21, 2025, Kalonzo called the speech empty promises that continue to deceive Kenyans. The opposition rallied support for DAP-K candidate in the Malava by-election.
President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver his State of the Nation Address in Cape Town on Thursday night from a position of relative strength within the ANC and the coalition government. Recent economic improvements include the end of load shedding and a credit rating upgrade, yet many South Africans continue to face water shortages, crime, and failing public services. Analysts urge him to connect these gains with everyday struggles and outline concrete solutions.
