Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro has shaken up the Mt Kenya opposition landscape by taking over the People’s Party of Kenya (PPK), signaling a potential challenge to established political alliances and regional leadership claims ahead of the 2027 General Election.

• Ndindi Nyoro's move creates a new political vehicle, PPK, challenging the dominance of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua's Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) in the region.
• Opposition figures including Siaya Governor James Orengo attended the launch, suggesting a broader opposition coalition may be forming.
• Nyoro's critics, including DCP leaders, have accused him of being a divisive "project," a claim he denies, stating he has left the government's orbit.
