Keter made the remarks after President Ruto shared an update from his stopover rally in Amagoro, Busia County, where he defended his administration's development agenda and urged Kenyans to continue supporting his government.
In his message, President Ruto described the current opposition as a threat to the country's progress, arguing that his administration remains focused on transforming the economy, creating opportunities and delivering development projects across the country.
The President appealed to Kenyans to remain united behind his leadership, saying the government's programmes are intended to improve livelihoods and secure a better future for coming generations.
However, Keter dismissed the President's optimism with a strongly worded response on his social media platforms.
Quoting the President's post, the former legislator claimed that President Ruto was heading for defeat in the next General Election.
"Mr Out-going President! Your goose is cooked! It is OVER! Just accept and move on!" Keter wrote.
The remarks immediately attracted widespread reactions online, with supporters and critics offering differing opinions on Kenya's political direction as preparations for the 2027 elections continue to gather momentum.

Some social media users agreed with Keter's assessment, arguing that the country's political landscape has changed significantly since the 2022 elections and that the next contest could be highly competitive.
Others defended President Ruto, maintaining that it is too early to predict the outcome of the election and insisting that voters will ultimately judge the administration based on its record in office.
Political analysts note that exchanges between government supporters and opposition figures have become increasingly common as leaders position themselves for the next electoral contest. They observe that public statements made on social media are now playing a significant role in shaping political conversations across the country.
