Ndindi Nyoro kicks off opposition tour in Murang’a after UDA exit
Nyoro announced that he will hold his first political engagement in Makuyu on Wednesday, August 19, as he begins selling his new political message to voters following his decision to join the People's Party of Kenya.
Nairobi, Kenya - Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro begins his political tour in Murang'a, his home county, as he leaves President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and joins the opposition. Nyoro will kick off his "people's tour" on Wednesday, August 19, in Makuyu, inviting supporters to attend. His decision to join the opposition came after year-long consultations with opposition leaders, including Rigathi Gachagua, Kalonzo Musyoka, Martha Karua, Fred Matiang'i, James Orengo, and Peter Munya.
Nyoro aims to build support for the People's Party of Kenya, a platform for opposition aspirants ahead of the 2027 General Election. His move signifies a significant political shift, as Nyoro was previously one of Ruto's most vocal allies and a prominent figure in the 2022 campaign. The tour will take Nyoro to various counties, including Uasin Gishu, Nandi, Bomet, Elgeyo-Marakwet, and Kericho, as he seeks to rebuild political networks outside Mt Kenya.
