The Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) has vehemently denied claims by Juja MP George Koimburi that he defected from the party, asserting he was never a member. DCP Secretary-General Hezron Obaga stated the party was surprised by Koimburi’s announcement, noting he has never joined or participated in DCP activities.

• DCP questioned Koimburi’s political loyalty, suggesting he worked with President William Ruto’s camp while publicly portraying sympathy for DCP.
• Koimburi reportedly met with the DCP party leader on Monday, January 12, 2026, demanding his former rival be removed and a direct ticket for the 2027 General Election.
• The party leader rejected Koimburi’s demands, insisting DCP would conduct open, competitive, and democratic nominations for all seats, as issuing direct tickets would undermine growing support.

Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has publicly criticized the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, citing a split due to the perceived abandonment of key economic and education promises made during the 2022 General Election campaign.

• Nyoro highlighted the party's failure to reduce public borrowing and insufficient funding for the education sector, despite promises.
• He also expressed concern over increasing intolerance for dissenting voices within the party, emphasizing the importance of open debate for good governance.
• Ndindi Nyoro recently launched the Kiharu Masomo Bora 2026 Edition educational program, where students pay only Ksh500 per term and receive daily lunch.

Juja Member of Parliament George Koimburi has announced his departure from the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), citing corruption, intimidation, and the sidelining of long-serving members. He plans to join President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.

• Koimburi accused DCP of demanding up to KSh5 million for party backing, favoring wealthy newcomers over loyal members.
• He criticized former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua for his recent political actions and urged supporters to be cautious of "criminal parties" with "criminal tendencies" in Kiambu County.
• The MP denied claims of being bribed by President Ruto, stating his decision is based on constituent development needs and a desire to work directly with the government on projects like roads and affordable housing.
