‘Give Me Four Weeks’: Nyoro Keeps Kenya Guessing | Dawan Africa

Kenya, June 27, 2026 -Kiharu MP says he won’t be rushed into choosing between Ruto and the Opposition as 2027 political battle gathers momentum

Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro on Saturday appealed for more time before declaring his political future, saying he would unveil his position on the country’s evolving political formations within the next three to four weeks.

Speaking at a press briefing in Nairobi, the former close ally of President William Ruto admitted that his role in campaigning for the Kenya Kwanza administration in the 2022 General Election has made him more cautious about taking political positions.

“I say this with a lot of humility. I was part of the team that campaigned around the country in 2022. Most of the time when I try to give alternative views and criticise, the message that comes back is, ‘But you are part of these people. It is you who came to convince us,'” Nyoro said.

The MP, who has increasingly emerged as one of the administration’s critics, said his next political move would not be driven by popularity but by what he believes is best for Kenya.

“The single most important decision we are going to make as a country is how we want Kenya to proceed. That decision is not about my political convenience. It is about what Kenya will become,” he said.

Nyoro insisted he would not be pressured into making a hurried political declaration amid the country’s charged political atmosphere.

“I know what I need to say to become politically popular immediately. But after that, where do we leave Kenya?” he posed.

He disclosed that he has spent months developing what he described as an objective vision for the country’s future before deciding which political team best fits that agenda.

“I request Kenyans not to push me into the situation of the moment as the storm has been ravaging around me. It is too weighty a decision to make, especially when we are in a storm,” he said.
