A fresh political storm is brewing in President William Ruto’s backyard after Kiambu Senator Karungo Wa Thangwa made a startling claim about the future of Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro.
His remarks have immediately raised questions about the succession battle and what could be unfolding behind the scenes ahead of the 2027 General Election. Read Full Article Here
Speaking during an interview with the Alpha House Podcast aired on Friday, September 5, 2026, the vocal senator alleged that Nyoro is President Ruto’s designated deputy presidential nominee for the 2027 election.
According to Karungo, the former Budget Committee chair is not simply pursuing his political ambitions independently.
He claimed that Nyoro is being positioned by the Head of State for a specific role in the next election, a suggestion that could significantly reshape the political calculations within the ruling camp.
Karungo went further, alleging that Nyoro’s People’s Prosperity Party is a creation of the State intended to weaken and dismantle the opposition.
The claims are likely to generate heated debate, particularly given Nyoro’s growing political profile and his close association with the administration.
The senator has recently intensified his criticism of Nyoro, making his latest remarks part of an increasingly public political confrontation.
His allegations also come at a time when politicians are quietly positioning themselves for the 2027 contest. Whether Nyoro will respond to the claims remains to be seen.
However, the accusations have added another layer of intrigue to Kenya’s already tense succession politics, with every alliance and political move now attracting intense scrutiny.
