Peter Munya, the leader of the Party of National Unity (PNU), has delivered a pointed critique of the Kenya Kwanza government, asserting that Deputy President Kithure Kindiki's presence will not secure President William Ruto's support in the 2027 elections from Mt Kenya East. Addressing residents in Meru on September 5, 2026, Munya urged citizens to reject what he called "failed leadership" and to prepare for a change in government during the upcoming election.
He emphasized that the people were seeking new leadership focused on addressing economic issues. "Kindiki's region won't suffice; we need fresh leadership that puts people first," Munya stated. The former Meru County Governor also warned against potential electoral manipulation, calling on voters to stay vigilant and protect their ballots.
Munya further accused the Kenya Kwanza administration of rigging elections through state machinery, alleging that well-planned systems were influencing election outcomes. He criticized the government for high taxation, rising living costs, and increased public debt, which had left many families unable to meet basic needs such as paying school fees.
Munya dismissed the notion that Kindiki's regional roots would automatically translate into votes, describing him as "a son of the soil" but emphasizing that voters would make their decision based on the government's performance, not tribal affiliations. He also highlighted the rising public debt, now estimated at Ksh13 trillion, and accused the government of misallocating borrowed funds.
Munya called for an end to excessive taxation and urged Kenyans to lower the cost of living before continuing with taxation measures. The PNU leader also accused the administration of using various entities to acquire and run local businesses, stating that the opposition was forming an alliance to defeat the Kenya Kwanza administration in 2027.
He urged Kenyans to vote based on a leader's development record, integrity, and commitment to public service.
