Ndindi Nyoro Defends Uhuru, Gachagua, And Matiang’i Against Ruto’s Rally Remarks

Kiharu Member of Parliament and People’s Party of Kenya (PPK) Leader Ndindi Nyoro has called on President William Ruto to serve as a unifying figure for the country and exercise greater restraint in his public remarks during political rallies.

Speaking during a church service in Kisii County on Sunday, November 15, 2026, Nyoro criticized the Head of State for what he termed as disrespecting senior opposition leaders by using derogatory language against them at public gatherings.

“Stop disrespecting President Uhuru Kenyatta, stop disrespecting Rigathi Gachagua, stop disrespecting Fred Matiang’i. These are senior figures in the political scene who deserve respect. You chased Gachagua away, leave him alone,” Nyoro stated.

The legislator challenged President Ruto to direct his political exchanges toward younger leaders like himself rather than targeting senior statesmen, emphasizing that as the “father of the nation,” the President ought to uphold decorum whenever addressing Kenyans.

Backing Matiang’i and Signals of a Single 2027 Opposition Candidate

Nyoro had accompanied Jubilee Party Leader Dr. Fred Matiang’i and Siaya Governor James Orengo to the Kisii church service. Addressing the congregation, the Kiharu MP urged residents of the Gusii region to rally behind Matiang’i, stating that the former Interior Cabinet Secretary possesses the capability to lead the nation.

Meanwhile, Governor Orengo affirmed that opposition formations are working toward fielding a single joint presidential candidate to challenge President Ruto in the 2027 General Election.
