Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has made a bold declaration signifying a major political shift in the country ahead of the 2027 elections.
Speaking to a local TV station on Friday, December 26, Nyoro opined that most of the political formations as currently constituted will not last to the 2027 elections.
Not last to 2027
“The parties you know currently and the political formations we have now — none will be on the ballot in 2027; you can take this against me when the time comes,” he stated.
“We are very far from elections at the moment. I’m saying this because when Kibaki rose to power in 2002, he was not the most formidable candidate eight months before the elections. Uhuru Kenyatta formed The National Alliance (TNA) less than a year before the elections, and Jubilee and the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), too, were formed just before the respective elections,” he added.
Wantam or two-term?
The MP remained tight-lipped and played his card close, refusing to reveal whether he supports the opposition’s “wantam” call or President Ruto’s two-term re-election bid.
“To say now the political side I would take or belong to more than 18 months from the polls is non-tactical, but fundamentally and logically I don’t support the economic policies the government is taking,” he declared.
His assertions follow his confession of an important political lesson he has picked up from his year in politics.
Nyoro, while commenting on his non-confrontational brand of politics, alluded to a personal vow he made to not hold any grudges of political animosity towards anyone.
Political rebranding
“I decided I will not be any person’s enemy. A person can be my enemy, but I will not be anyone’s enemy. In politics, I realised, the enmity and such negative feelings bog you down. I have no enemies,” he said.
In retrospect, Ndindi observed that his opting to stay silent and non-confrontational is defining not only his politics but also his personality.
“When people sit down and plot things against you, if you go berserk, you end up losing as you play into their game. I disagree with most of the government policies on politics or governance, but besmirching and name-calling are what I will not engage in. I decided I want to define my politics differently, and this has informed the approach I have taken in dealing with some issues,” he said.
