NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 26 – Runyenjes MP Eric Muchangi Karemba has announced he will not seek re-election on President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ticket in 2027, adding to a growing list of Mt Kenya leaders abandoning or distancing themselves from the ruling party.
Karemba said he would spend the next two months consulting constituents and political leaders before settling on a new party to defend his seat in the next General Election.
A source familiar with the discussions has indicated that Runyenjes MP Eric Muchangi Karemba is expected to defect to the People’s Party of Kenya (PPK), the political outfit associated with Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro, as he seeks an alternative platform ahead of the 2027 General Election.
