Nyoro’s break with Ruto redraws 2027 opposition map Nyoro joins the ‘Wantam’ campaign, calls Ruto ‘Kenya’s number one enemy’ Politics Just now

In his first major political address since joining the Peoples’ Party of Kenya (PPK), Mr Nyoro openly positioned himself within the emerging ‘Wantam’ movement, calling on opposition leaders to bury their differences, settle on one presidential candidate and mount a single campaign against Dr Ruto.

The remarks elevate Mr Nyoro from a former Ruto ally who has recently joined the opposition camp to a potential player in the emerging Wantam coalition, as rival factions position themselves to control the political realignment in Mt Kenya and beyond ahead of the 2027 election.

The declaration places Mr Nyoro at the centre of the intensifying political realignment in Mt Kenya, where Dr Ruto is facing growing opposition and former allies are positioning themselves for the 2027 contest.
