Kindiki to Mt Kenya: Don’t let 2027 politics divide you
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has urged the Mt Kenya region to maintain unity and avoid political division ahead of the 2027 elections. He emphasized that political competition should not lead to violence or the disruption of community peace.
Why it matters
The call for unity highlights the ongoing political tensions in Kenya as leaders prepare for future electoral cycles.
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has called on the Mt Kenya region to remain united despite emerging political differences, warning that electoral competition should not divide the community or undermine national peace.
Kindiki said political contests were temporary, while the unity of the region and the country would endure long after the elections, urging leaders and residents to focus on development and to judge political leaders by their records.
“I humbly appeal to you that we should be people who tolerate one another. Even if we have small political differences here at home, we should not use those differences to disrupt the peace of our community and the peace of the nation,” Kindiki said.
