Kuria’s running mate's dreams dashed, political power flexes

Moses Kuria says heavy-hitting political figures forced Makadara MP George Aladwa to bail on their Nairobi governor deal less than a day after they announced it. The former Cabinet Secretary claims Aladwa got called in and told to trash their running mate arrangement for the 2027 race. Kuria posted that he respects the decision but said the interference revealed opposition's strategy way ahead of schedule.

Aladwa told his supporters he's running for governor on an ODM ticket instead of being anyone's deputy. The longtime Nairobi politician and ex-mayor wants to take down current Governor Johnson Sakaja based on his city governance experience.

Kuria's campaign focuses on President Ruto's complaints about Nairobi turning into a garbage-filled mess with broken infrastructure. Other contenders lining up for 2027 include Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and Irungu Nyakera.
