Chama Cha Kazi (CCK) party leader Moses Kuria has dismissed claims that his political outfit divided votes in the just-concluded Mbeere North Member of Parliament (MP) by-election.

The former Cabinet Secretary has said he is amused by those saying the CCK party was on a particular mission when area residents went to the ballot to elect their next representative in the National Assembly on Thursday, November 27, 2025.

Taking to X on Saturday, November 29, 2025, Mose Kuria had some concerns to be addressed: ”I have several questions: did we have a deal with anyone that we failed to honour? Were we even approached by anyone for a deal, and we declined?” Kuria wondered.

In the hotly contested mini polls, Newton Karish of the Democratic Party (DP), Leo Wamuthende of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) and Duncan Mbui of CCK were the main aspirants in the Mbeere North MP race, where the UDA candidate was declared the winner by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

”We picked Hon Duncan Mbui after he was dropped by DCP. Why did they drop him? UDA united all aspirants who lost to Wamuthende in the nominations. Why didn’t the opposition do the same? There were 5 other candidates other than Karish, Wamuthende and Mbui.”

“Who had sent these other 5? I was the only leader from outside Mbeere who campaigned for Mbui. The Karish team had Riggy G, Kalonzo, Eugene, Natembeya, Matiangi, Karua, Kivuti, Muturi, Mukunji, Methu and others. How do I garner 2,480 votes when I am alone enough to spoil your votes?” Kuria posed.

“How does the almighty holy united opposition allow UDA to garner 15k-plus votes in the Mt Kenya region and then blame one with only 2,480 votes? CCK was formed on 17th August 2021. We have been around long before other parties. To the best of my knowledge, the business of parties is sponsoring candidates. Should we branch off and start selling bras?” Kuria asked.

Meanwhile, Moses Kuria has claimed that the next 2027 general election will not be a usual democratic exercise but an activity characterised by goonism after the 2025 by-elections were infiltrated with violence.
