Kiharu Member of Parliament (MP) Ndindi Nyoro has announced his exit from the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA), accusing the party of abandoning its mission to serve Kenyans.

Speaking during a public address on Sunday, July 5, 2026, Nyoro said he and other leaders had severed ties with the President William Ruto-led party, claiming it had failed to deliver on its promises.

“Serikalini, wako na nafasi. Wameangusha Wakenya. And that is the reason all of us moved away from the governing party. Na hapa, wote tumeondoka,” Nyoro said.

UDA Mt Kenya loss

The legislator further declared that support for UDA has significantly diminished in the Mount Kenya region, insisting that residents had already made the decision to abandon the party.

“There is no more person on top of a wheelbarrow or taking a wheelbarrow anywhere here in our place. Even the entire Kenya, watu wote, sisi sote, tuliondokea hiyo wheelbarrow. Na hakuna tashwishi hapo.”

Nyoro maintained that the debate is no longer about whether to support the UDA party or its wheelbarrow symbol, arguing that the decision had already been made.

“So the decision we are making is not about whether to support Wheelbarrow or not, or where. That decision we made a long time ago,” he said.

Nyoro’s next political move

This comes weeks after Nyoro hinted at unveiling his next 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 some 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.

“I have been working on something for the last many, many months ,objectively in terms of the kind of Kenya we would want to have, because it is the kind of Kenya that we would want to have, that then would dictate what kind of team do we need to do this job,” Nyoro said.

“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.
