Gachagua Allies Blame Ndindi Nyoro as New PPK Party Sparks Fresh Mt Kenya Power Struggle<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/blockquote>\n

By Jeff Kizzilah Digital Editor <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Allies of former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua have accused Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro of being behind the formation of the newly unveiled People\u2019s Patriotic Kenya (PPK)<\/strong> party, alleging that the new political outfit is intended to divide the Mt Kenya vote and weaken the region\u2019s political influence.<\/p>\n

The allies claim that the emergence of PPK is part of a broader strategy to fragment the political base of Mt Kenya ahead of the next electoral cycle, particularly by creating competing political centres within the region.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They have questioned the timing of the new party and its potential impact on efforts to consolidate Mt Kenya\u2019s political voice, warning that multiple parties competing for the same constituency could ultimately benefit rival political interests.<\/p>\n

The accusations have placed Ndindi Nyoro at the centre of a growing political debate over who should shape Mt Kenya\u2019s political future. His allies and supporters, however, have yet to publicly accept the allegations that he is responsible for the formation or political agenda of PPK.<\/p>\n

The controversy comes as political realignments continue to gather momentum across Mt Kenya, with leaders positioning themselves for a battle over the region\u2019s future leadership and national bargaining power.<\/p>\n

Gachagua\u2019s allies insist that the region must avoid political fragmentation and instead pursue unity around a clear political agenda.<\/p>\n

The formation of PPK is therefore likely to intensify the debate over whether Mt Kenya is heading towards a new era of political pluralism\u2014or a potentially costly battle for control of the region\u2019s vote.<\/p>\n
