Political analyst Herman Manyora has said that Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro must either join former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) or risk losing his parliamentary seat in the 2027 General Election.

Speaking to the media on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, the outspoken analyst argued that it would not be the first time an MP is voted out despite delivering massive development projects to constituents.

Manyora further claimed that Nyoro, whose political star had been on the rise, delayed for too long and remained on the fence as the Mt Kenya political landscape shifted. According to the political analyst, the Kiharu lawmaker’s best option is to align himself with Gachagua by joining the DCP.

“I’ve told you the only thing he can do is to fall at the feet of Gachagua, he has to appease Gachagua, praise DCP, actually even join DCP, otherwise that kiharu seat he will loose it with all the things he has done, he wont be the first MP to be voted out after doing wonderful things,’’

Muchendu’s suggestion

Meanwhile, political analyst Patrick Muchendu echoed Manyora’s sentiments, saying Nyoro’s continued fence-sitting could prove costly politically and make him appear indecisive to voters.

Muchendu also cautioned the youthful MP against attempting to form his own political party ahead of the 2027 elections, arguing that such a move would be dead on arrival because the Mt Kenya region already has well-established political parties competing for support.

Nyoro’s next political move

This comes days after Nyoro hinted at unveiling a major political move that could reshape Kenya’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 General Election, revealing that he has been quietly working for months on a new political direction and asking Kenyans to give him up to four weeks before making his next public declaration.

Speaking on Saturday, June 27, 2026, during a press briefing, the MP said the decision he is preparing to make is far bigger than immediate political pressure and will focus on defining the kind of leadership and direction Kenya needs moving forward.

Nyoro’s silence

“I request Kenyans to give me three to four weeks, to share my views. This decision is not about my political convenience; it is about what Kenya can become,” he said.

Nyoro added that the silence he has maintained in recent weeks should not be misunderstood, saying his next move must be guided by long-term national interest.

“My silence has not been in vain. It has been for Kenyans, not for my political convenience,” he added.
