Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has called for a high-profile media briefing today at 12 noon at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), eliciting widespread speculation about the purpose of his address.
The media invite, seen by this publication, was sent out by his contact person Richard Muraguri, and has left many Kenyans questioning whether the outspoken legislator will be announcing a major political move following his recent ouster as Chairperson of the National Assembly’s Budget and Appropriations Committee.
“Hon Ndindi Nyoro MP Kiharu invites you to a media briefing on Tuesday 18th March 2025 at 12 noon at KICC building 26th floor,” read the media invite by Nyoro’s contact person Richard Muraguri.
Nyoro, a former key ally of President William Ruto, was unexpectedly removed from the influential parliamentary role last week in what political insiders describe as an internal power struggle within the ruling Kenya Kwanza coalition.
His removal has fueled speculation about shifting alliances within government and the potential realignment of political forces ahead of the 2027 elections.
While Nyoro has remained relatively silent since his ouster, his planned address today has heightened curiosity, with many wondering whether he will be declaring his next political course.
Some believe he could either reaffirm his loyalty to President Ruto or signal a shift towards an independent political path. Others speculate that he may use the platform to air grievances over his removal and stake his claim as a key Mt Kenya political leader.
The Kiharu MP has been a rising star in Mt Kenya politics and a vocal advocate for economic empowerment programs, particularly focusing on youth and small businesses.
His role in the 2022 campaigns and strong grassroots support have positioned him as a significant player in the region’s political landscape.
With tensions brewing in Mt Kenya following former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s recent political troubles, today’s briefing could have far-reaching implications for both Nyoro’s future and the broader dynamics within Kenya Kwanza.
Gachagua has already extended an Olive branch to Nyoro for the two to work together ahead of 2027.
