Karanja announced on Friday, October 9, that she would seek the Nakuru governorship on the DCP ticket, ending her four-year association with the ruling party under which she was elected senator in 2022.

This comes as DCP and Linda Mwananchi appear to be warming to each other, potentially forming a coalition away from Azimio, in what could further complicate Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyokaโ€™s efforts to revive the 2022 political behemoth, following the high-profile departures of ODM and Martha Karuaโ€™s Peopleโ€™s Liberation Party.
