  "account": "Nairobi, Kenya – Ndindi Nyoro, once a staunch ally of Kenya Kwanza campaign leader William Ruto, has announced his decision to join the opposition. After an extensive year-long consultation with opposition leaders including Rigathi Gachagua, Kalonzo Musyoka, Martha Karua, and Fred Matiang’i, Nyoro announced his affiliation with the People’s Party of Kenya. This move marks a significant shift for Nyoro, who had previously been among Ruto’s most vocal supporters. The politician unveiled the new political vehicle as a platform for a broader opposition movement, inviting all presidential aspirants to participate in the party’s activities. Nyoro intends to use this platform to explain his reasons for parting ways with the administration that helped him rise to prominence, emphasizing the need to rebuild Kenya by uniting all Kenyans across different regions.",
  "summary": "He said the decision followed extensive consultations with leaders across the emerging opposition landscape, naming Gachagua, Kalonzo, Karua, James Orengo and Peter Munya among those he had met.",
