Ndindi Nyoro, the leader of the People’s Party of Kenya, has confidently addressed concerns about being perceived as a mole within the opposition. He emphasized that no opposition party has directly accused him of undermining the coalition.
In an interview with a local TV station on Wednesday, September 2, 2026, Nyoro expressed his commitment to defending his party against any political attacks and reiterated that he has yet to hear any opposition leader make accusations against the People’s Party of Kenya.
“I have not received any direct accusations against our party. Should that happen, I will stand up and defend it,” Nyoro stated.
The Kiharu MP also dismissed worries that his political activities might create divisions within the Mt Kenya region or incite unnecessary disputes among leaders. He advocated for unity among political allies, urging leaders to refrain from fabricating conflicts where none exist.
“Even the leadership of all opposition parties, including DCP, have sent me congratulatory messages. It’s crucial that we avoid creating rifts among brothers when there is no conflict,” he remarked.
Nyoro’s comments emerge amidst increasing political discourse regarding his role within the opposition and speculation that the People’s Party of Kenya could potentially divide votes in the region. However, he firmly rejected the notion that he entered the political sphere to fragment opposition support.
He clarified that he did not establish the People’s Party but rather joined an existing political entity, with its members subsequently electing him as their leader.
“I joined the People’s Party; I did not create it. The membership deemed it appropriate for me to lead,” Nyoro explained.
He argued that the party existed prior to his leadership, asserting that his involvement cannot be held responsible for divisions that were not previously present.
“Regardless of my joining, the People’s Party was already established,” he stated.
Nyoro also challenged the narrative surrounding vote-splitting, inquiring who exactly might be losing votes due to the presence of PPK.
“In terms of splitting, whose votes are we discussing?” he questioned.
These comments come as political parties and leaders strategize ahead of the 2027 General Election, with the Mt Kenya region anticipated to be a pivotal battleground.
Nyoro affirmed his dedication to leading PPK, emphasizing that he will not be drawn into political conflicts fueled by speculation and assumptions. He also highlighted the cordial relationship that his party maintains with other opposition leaders, despite the ongoing debate surrounding his political influence.
