Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro meeting with residents in Murang'a town on July 4, 2026/ ALICE WAITHERA
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has hinted that he has left the ruling UDA party but says he is still consulting before announcing his next political move.
The legislator said he will work with like-minded leaders across the political divide to chart what he termed a new path for the country.
Speaking in his constituency on Saturday, Nyoro said his political decisions would be guided by the interests of Kenyans rather than pressure from any individual or political camp, adding that he is still consulting widely before announcing his next political move.
"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.
The lawmaker appealed to leaders to set aside personal ambitions and unite in addressing the country's economic and governance challenges, saying meaningful transformation can only be achieved through collective leadership focused on the public good.
He urged Kenyans to remain patient, saying he would provide direction in the coming weeks after concluding consultations, while insisting that citizens must remain at the centre of any political decisions leaders make.
"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," Nyoro said.
The Kiharu MP has increasingly distanced himself from the Kenya Kwanza administration, claiming it had failed to deliver on promises made to Kenyans during the 2022 General Election.
The legislator said his experience campaigning for the Kenya Kwanza alliance across the country had made him more cautious about making political decisions, arguing that leaders must first be certain they are acting in the country's best interests rather than pursuing personal ambitions.
"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.
"The decision about whether to remain with the wheelbarrow was made a long time ago. We all left it because the government disappointed Kenyans. The decision I am taking time to make now is where Kenya goes from here and how we get there with Kenyans at the centre," he added.
The MP also criticised recent incidents in which motorists and political leaders were allegedly attacked by gangs, saying police officers had in some instances failed to stop the violence despite being present.
He maintained that police officers were not the problem but were acting under instructions from senior officials, adding that those directing such actions would eventually be held accountable.
"If a government cannot guarantee security, which is the bare minimum any government should provide, then it is telling Kenyans it cannot offer anything else," Nyoro said.
