MP Ndindi Nyoro Announces UDA Exit, Joins New Party
This story has significance for readers across Kenya and beyond.
Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has announced his exit from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.
Speaking on Monday, August 17, the lawmaker announced that he has joined the People’s Party of Kenya (PPK), distancing himself from the ruling party.
"For the avoidance of doubt, I know you all know that we left the government a long time ago and dissociated ourselves from the wheelbarrow party, UDA. From what I can see, even those with the wheelbarrows themselves will eventually leave and abandon it," he said.
Nyoro said his move to the People’s Party of Kenya would also see him and his supporters take an opposition role.
"As Ndindi Nyoro, together with my supporters, from today, I have joined a party called the People’s Party of Kenya. As members of the People’s Party of Kenya, we have today joined the opposition," he added.
