Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has officially confirmed that he has left the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, saying deep frustration and a sense of alienation drove his decision.
Speaking in his constituency on Saturday, Nyoro said he plans to work with like-minded leaders across party lines to help chart what he described as a new direction for the country.
He added that he is still consulting widely before he makes a formal announcement about his next political move.
“The decision we are making is not about whether to support the wheelbarrow or not, or where. That decision we made a long time ago,” he said.
Nyoro said he will base his choices on the public interest, not pressure from political camps or individuals, and he will not let anyone force him to rush into a final position. He told his supporters that his focus remains on Kenya’s future direction and on leadership that reflects citizens’ needs.
“I will not be pushed around. I know my conscience is clear. If Kenya changes and moves in the right direction, work becomes easier for everyone,” he said.
Nyoro also urged fellow leaders to set aside personal ambition and focus on collective responsibility as they address Kenya’s economic and governance challenges, arguing that unity makes meaningful change possible.
“A leader must never make such an important decision because they are being pushed. Kenyans must be at the centre of every political decision we make,” he said.
He further noted that his experience during nationwide campaigns has made him more deliberate in his political choices. He added that leaders should act in the country’s best interest rather than seek personal gain.
“I campaigned across Kenya in 2022, and we made promises to people. Today, Kenyans are asking where those promises went…that is why I will not rush into another political decision before I know exactly what I am doing,” he said.
