Ndindi Nyoro: Kenyans will be key consideration in my next political move

Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro says he has been carrying a heavy burden for months as he weighs his next political decision, insisting that the interests of Kenyans will guide whatever direction he takes.

Speaking in a presser on Monday, August 17, 2026, Nyoro said he had spent months thinking and praying about his political future, drawing lessons from his previous experiences in national campaigns and governance.

“My heart has been burdened and I have been burdened for many months,” Nyoro said.

He said his main consideration was the impact of his decision on the Kenyan people, rather than personal political interests.

“I have been thinking and praying that in whatever direction I take, politically speaking, that the people of Kenya must be the great consideration that I have,” he said.

Nyoro, who has previously played a prominent role in national political campaigns, said his experiences travelling across the country had taught him important lessons about Kenyan politics.

“I have participated before in national campaigns as you all know. Na nikazunguka Kenya nzima,” he said.

The lawmaker said one of the biggest lessons he had learnt was that winning an election was only the beginning, with the greater challenge being the delivery of promises made to voters.

He noted that the experience of the previous campaign and subsequent governance had changed his perspective on political leadership.

“It’s actually easier to campaign than to govern,” Nyoro said.

According to the Kiharu MP, political campaigns often focus on convincing voters, but the real test comes after elections when leaders are expected to deliver on their commitments.

“As we participated in the campaigns last year, and I’m saying this in good faith, I realized even after we won, that the real battle was not in the campaigns. The real battle was in the deliverables that Kenyans expected,” he said.

Nyoro’s remarks come amid heightened political realignments ahead of the 2027 General Election, with leaders across the country positioning themselves and reassessing their political alliances.

The MP did not, however, disclose the specific political decision he is considering, leaving his remarks open to interpretation as speculation grows over his next political move.

He said his previous experiences would play an important role in determining the direction he ultimately takes, with the interests and expectations of Kenyans remaining central to his decision.
