Nyoro shuts door on politicians who insult opposition leaders

Nairobi, Kenya – On August 19, Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro cautioned politicians eyeing his newly formed party, stating that those who insult opposition leaders will be unwelcome in his political faction. The MP, who recently left the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), made these remarks during his inaugural political journey through his Kiharu constituency.

During the tour, held in Mukuyu, Murang’ a, Nyoro expressed his party's stance against politicians who engage in insults, personal attacks, and political discord. His message seemed targeted at opposition figures embroiled in conflicts, including DCP leader Rigathi Gachagua, Jubilee party deputy leader Fred Matiang’i, and Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka.

Nyoro warned the disgruntled opposition politicians that the People’s Party of Kenya would not offer a platform for those who have attacked Gachagua. He urged such individuals to first reconcile their differences with him before considering joining his party. Additionally, Nyoro attempted to distance himself from those responsible for causing chaos in religious and public spaces. He declared that the People’s Party would not accommodate individuals who bring disorder to churches and other public areas.

Nyoro emphasized that his decision to steer clear of petty political disputes should not be construed as weakness or an indication of an open door for politicians seeking a fresh political home. He clarified, "Those who assume that because I do not engage in petty political squabbles with anyone, they can come and hide here, I want to tell them: I have a bigger agenda. I have more work on my plate."

Upon his return to Kiharu, Nyoro received a warm welcome from residents, receiving endorsements from his supporters for his new political agenda. The MP has since positioned himself as a potential leader in efforts to unite opposition forces prior to the 2027 elections.
