People’s Party of Kenya (PPK) leader Ndindi Nyoro has vowed to launch a nationwide campaign against President William Ruto, declaring that he will revisit towns where he previously campaigned for the President in the run-up to the 2022 General Election.
Speaking in Narok on Sunday, September 27, 2026, Nyoro said he would return to areas where he and Ruto promoted the UDA wheelbarrow symbol during the 2022 campaign and use the same routes for his new political mobilisation.
“Si mnanielewa? Si mnaniona vizuri? Si mnajua sisi wote tuko upinzani?” Nyoro asked residents during the engagement.
He then said he would revisit the places where he and Ruto travelled together, saying: “Pahali popote tulienda na yeye mpaka hapa Narok… nitaenda kila pahali tulienda.”
Nyoro’s remarks mark a major shift from his previous role as one of the political figures who campaigned for Ruto during the 2022 presidential election. He left the United Democratic Alliance and joined the People’s Party of Kenya, which he now leads as he builds an opposition political network ahead of the 2027 General Election.
In Narok, Nyoro also directed his criticism at the government over land and mineral resources. He accused the administration of seeking control of land and gold resources in the county, although the allegations were not independently verified and he did not identify specific parcels of land or mining licence holders.
“Wachana na mali ya watu wa hapa Narok!” Nyoro told President Ruto, according to reports from the event.
He argued that Kenya’s mineral resources should benefit local communities and contribute to the national economy. Nyoro further promised that, should the opposition take power in 2027, he would review and cancel the mining licences he criticised.
“Lazima tucancel zote, mali irudi kwa Wakenya isaidie Wakenya!” he said.
Nyoro’s Narok address came during a wider opposition engagement involving Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiang’i and other leaders. The group attended a worship service at Dominion Chapel Ministries International in Olerai before proceeding with public engagements in Narok Town.
Matiang’i used the same occasion to call for greater cooperation among opposition parties, saying political leaders would need patience and sacrifice to agree on a united presidential candidate. He also accused the government of interfering with political parties and warned against efforts that could limit Kenyans' political choices.
The appearance of Nyoro and Matiang’i together adds to their recent joint political activities as opposition leaders continue building grassroots networks ahead of the 2027 election. However, neither leader has announced a formal Jubilee-PPK coalition or a joint presidential ticket.
Nyoro’s message in Narok therefore centred on three issues: his break with Ruto, a nationwide plan to campaign against the President, and demands for greater local benefit from Narok’s land and mineral resources.
His promise to revisit the towns where he once promoted Ruto’s wheelbarrow campaign now places the symbol at the centre of his new opposition message as political activity intensifies ahead of the 2027 General Election.
