Ndindi Nyoro explains his fallout with UDA

By , January 14, 2026

Kiharu Member of Parliament (MP) Ndindi Nyoro has opened up on the genesis of his bitter fallout with the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.

Speaking on the night of Wednesday, January 14, 2026, during an interview with one of the local TV stations, Nyoro said that his fallout with the President William Ruto-led party came when it deviated from what it had promised Kenyans.

According to the vocal lawmaker who was once viewed as the UDA’s blue-eyed boy, he had a chance to sell to Kenyans the party’s agenda, which he thinks is not being followed.

“It is the UDA party that deviated. When we were campaigning, and I had a chance to sell the party’s agenda, I think the party deviated from what we were to do,” Nyoro said.

Economy

He went ahead to point out the economy as the primary issue that the UDA has deviated from. Nyoro argued that while campaigning ahead of the 2022 general elections, the UDA party had promised to go slow on borrowing, but that has not been the case.

“I have spoken on several issues, but the primary one is on the economy. We told Kenyans that we were not going to borrow the kind of money that we are borrowing now,” he said.

Education funding

Nyoro further accused the ruling party of failing in the education sector, especially on education funding.

Moreover, he noted that the government’s response to those with dissenting voices, especially the young people, has not been good.

“We were also to give education the primacy it deserves, and I don’t think that party is doing what we sold to the people, especially when it comes to education funding. Also, what has been happening to those with dissenting voices? You have seen what has been happening to the young people. We are investing a lot in PR instead of letting the outcome speak for itself,” he said.

Nyoro, who used to chair the budget committee in the National Assembly, lost his position after his fallout with the UDA party.

His position was handed to the Alego Usonga MP, Sam Atandi of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party.
