Central Organization of Trade Unions Secretary General Francis Atwoli shared a lighthearted yet boastful post on X, showcasing one of his largest bulls to Okoth Jabillo at his farm in Ildamat.
The image depicts Atwoli, dressed in a patterned shirt, standing amid a herd of cattle, pointing out the impressive animal to his guest.
The veteran labor leader, known for his influential role in Kenyan workers' affairs, captioned the photo with pride, highlighting the bull as a standout feature of his rural property.
This message emerges as Atwoli navigates a politically charged atmosphere leading up to the 2027 elections.
Recently, he has been vocal in supporting President William Ruto, asserting that the Luhya community stands united behind the incumbent.
Atwoli has dismissed any challenge from former President Uhuru Kenyatta, even if constitutional changes allowed a comeback, and warned figures like Fred Matiang'i against relying on Uhuru for political gains.
Furthermore, Atwoli has stirred debate by opposing presidential term limits, arguing that ten years is insufficient to develop the nation.
He claimed that, if elected president, he would abolish such restrictions, sparking discussions on governance and longevity in power.
His comments align with his defense of the broad-based government, crediting former Prime Minister Raila Odinga for prioritizing national stability by integrating ODM into the administration.
Atwoli's farm post, seen by some as a display of personal success, contrasts with ongoing coalition tensions between ODM and UDA, where demands for power-sharing and zoning remain unresolved.
Recently re-elected unopposed as general secretary of the Kenya Plantation and Agricultural Workers Union, Atwoli continues to wield significant influence in labor and political circles.
The update has garnered mixed reactions online, with supporters praising his achievements while critics view it as tone-deaf amid economic pressures facing workers.
