Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has asked Kenyans to give him another three to four weeks before he publicly outlines his political direction. He said he wants to base his decision on the country’s future rather than political pressure or personal popularity.
Nyoro, a former close ally of President William Ruto who has since emerged as one of the government’s most outspoken critics on economic issues, said Kenyans have flooded him with calls seeking clarity on where he stands ahead of the 2027 General Election.
“I have seen the overwhelming feedback from Kenyans, and I appreciate that many people want to hear my political position,” Nyoro said. “I request Kenyans to give me three to four weeks to share my specific views on political formations and the direction we need to take as a country.”
Nyoro also said he can no longer be regarded as part of the Kenya Kwanza administration, arguing that his public criticism of how the government manages the economy reflects that position.
“There is no way I can continue speaking the way I do about the economy if I was still supporting the government. We no longer support the government in the way it is running the affairs of the economy,” he said.
Nyoro, however, said he would not rush into any political alliance, adding that he wants to avoid repeating past mistakes.
“This decision is not about my political convenience. It is about what Kenya will become. If I wanted popularity, I know exactly what I should say today, and I would become a political sensation immediately. But after that, where do we leave Kenyans?” he asked.
Although Nyoro said he still counts many leaders across the political divide among his friends, he added that any future partnership would depend on what benefits the country rather than on personal relationships.
“I do not want to be in a situation where a government is formed and by December 2027 Kenyans are once again disappointed. The decision I make must be one I can defend for many years to come,” he said.
