A section of Central Kenya leaders has called upon Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro to consider running for the presidency in 2032.
They made the remarks on Wednesday during a politically charged funeral for Mzee Jamleck Mwangi, the father of East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) MP Maina Karobia in Kiharu.
EALA MP Kanini Kega described Nyoro as “presidential material” and highlighting his “presidential mind and walking style” in sentiments echoed by Murang’a Senator Joe Nyutu, who emphasized that it is “time for the county to also produce a president.”
On his part, Nyoro assured that the region remains well united and emphasized the commitment of the Kenya Kwanza government in delivering on its promises to Kenyans, as outlined in the manifesto that propelled President William Ruto to power.
Former President Uhuru Kenyatta was the unchallenged leader of the region prior to the August 2022 elections, but his power diminished after leaving office. Despite some local political leaders publicly opposing him, Gachagua has continuously proclaimed his authority in Mount Kenya.

Even though Kenya's next elections aren't for another four years, it seems like political elites are already preparing for the 2027 and 2032 polls.
