NAIROBI, Kenya- Kiharu Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has emphasised a new approach to politics, saying he will no longer engage in personal rivalries and will focus on Kenya’s broader future.
Speaking to NTV, Nyoro acknowledged past political disagreements but said he is now committed to building relationships and pursuing constructive leadership.
“I have decided that I will not have any enemies. Rigathi Gachagua is my friend. We spoke recently,” Nyoro said, clarifying speculation of a political rift with the former Deputy President.

Nyoro revealed that he fell out with President William Ruto after he refused to mobilise MPs to support Gachagua’s impeachment, a move he described as inconsistent with his principles.
Despite the tensions, Nyoro emphasised respect for colleagues and political allies, saying his politics will now prioritise issues and national development over personal power struggles.
The MP also addressed the current political landscape, arguing that Kenya lacks a credible opposition.
“When you have a government that can ride on the ignorance of the people, they become a monster — not just to the Kenyan people, even a self-feeding monster to itself,” he said.
Nyoro predicted that the political parties as they are currently formed will not feature in the presidential race in 2027, signalling that he believes major political realignments are imminent.

Asked about his own presidential ambitions, Nyoro chose to focus on the country rather than personal aspirations.
“I find it unfair to keep talking about what I may become. I would rather talk about what Kenya will become,” he said, stressing that his focus is on economic stability and governance rather than contesting positions for the sake of power.
Reflecting on past elections, Nyoro admitted that youthful enthusiasm sometimes led to “silly politics,” including conflicts over power.
“We were younger during the last elections and engaged in politics that involved fighting people because of power. I want to respect everyone now,” he said.

Analysts say Nyoro’s statements signal a strategic repositioning, balancing national issue-driven politics with careful alliance management.
