15 United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Members of Parliament have reportedly thrown their support behind Kiharu constituency member of parliament, Hon Ndindi Nyoro, as the presumptive presidential candidate for the Mt Kenya region in the 2032 elections.
The revelation, covered in a report by Saturday’s Nation publication, unveils a notable list of leaders who have endorsed Nyoro for the esteemed position.
Among them is Senator Joe Nyutu, a prominent figure in the political landscape.
The endorsement extends to Members of Parliament, including Betty Maina, John Kaguchia of Mukrweini, and Jamatia Srrgon representing Baringo.
Furthermore, the list features Paul Mwirigi, the representative for Igembe South, and Hon Didmus Barasa from Kimilili, reflecting a diverse group of MPs from various constituencies aligning themselves with Nyoro’s presidential aspirations.
The endorsement wave also encompasses other influential figures such as Paul Biego, Fred Ikana, and Ann Wamuratha from Kiambu.
Their backing adds weight to Ndindi Nyoro’s growing political profile within the Mt Kenya region.
