DP Kithure Kindiki has launched a scathing critique against the emerging opposition alliance, referring to it as a “coalition of underachievers.”
Speaking on Sunday, May 4, 2025, during a development tour in Tharaka Nithi County, Kindiki dismissed the newly formed political coalition as a union driven by personal interests rather than national progress.
According to the DP, the opposition leaders uniting ahead of the 2027 general elections have consistently failed in their past leadership roles and lack a clear agenda for the country. He argued that Kenyans should be wary of leaders who resurface every election cycle, only to offer promises that never materialize.
“This alliance is nothing but a coalition of political underachievers, individuals who have had their chances in government and failed to deliver,” Kindiki stated. “They are now coming together, not to serve Kenyans, but to protect their political relevance and personal interests.”
Kindiki, a key ally of President William Ruto, further emphasized that the Kenya Kwanza administration is focused on implementing its development agenda, including enhancing national security, boosting economic resilience, and improving service delivery.
He called on citizens to support leaders who are results-oriented and dedicated to transforming the country.
The opposition alliance, still in its formative stages, includes several prominent figures who have yet to formally declare their joint manifesto. However, the alliance has drawn attention as a potential force in the upcoming elections.
Kindiki’s remarks have sparked mixed reactions from political observers, with some viewing them as a sign of growing anxiety within the ruling coalition. Others, however, see them as part of the broader political discourse shaping Kenya’s road to 2027.
