We will not be diverted from delivery – DP Kindiki says as 2027 political re-alignment continues

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has firmly stated that the government will not be distracted by premature political campaigns as the country inches toward the 2027 general elections.

Kindiki emphasized the administration’s commitment to development over politics.

“This is not the time for early campaigns. Our focus remains firmly on delivering services to Kenyans.

We will not waste time. Some people are ridiculing us saying that we dont know how to do politics. When the time comes we shall deal with out haters head on,” Kindiki who spoke at Igegania grounds in Gatundu North during a community empowerment program, stated.

“All those characters fighting us had an opportunity to do something for the country but they failed,” added Kindiki.

The Second in Command added that any attempts to derail the government’s agenda through political pressure would be resisted, asserting that President William Ruto’s administration remains undeterred.

The remarks come amid increasing signs of political realignment ahead of the 2027 polls.

Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua, once a close ally of President Ruto, has initiated talks with opposition leaders including Fred Matiang’i, the former Interior Cabinet Secretary and former vice president Kalonzo Musyoka, signaling an emerging coalition aimed at challenging Ruto’s re-election bid.

The President has been under mounting criticism for what some perceive as unfulfilled campaign promises.

Despite the rising political temperatures, the empowerment event remained focused on economic development.

President Ruto donated Sh3 million to small traders while Kindiki contributed Sh2 million in support of community initiatives.

A group of parliamentarians in attendance pledged continued loyalty to the government, citing the benefits of aligning with the administration in facilitating regional development.

The MPs led by Majority Leader in the National Assembly Kimani Ichung’wah (Kikuyu), Gabriel Kagombe (Gatundu South), Alice Ng’ang’a (Thika), Mburu Kahangara (Lari), Njuguna Kawanjiku (Kiambaa) and Anne Wamuratha, the Kiambu County women representative.

Others were Eric Wamumbi (Mathira), Simon King’ara (Ruiru), and government spokesperson Isaac Mwaura, among others.

“We are sticking with the government because we are seeing the fruits of partnership—roads, schools, hospitals—these things matter to our people,” said area MP Elijah Njoroge Kururia.

“It is time for service delivery. We will not bow to pressure to start political exchanges,” states Wamuratha.

The MPs urged to the government to complete all stalled projects including Mau Mau roads, markets, electrification among others.

As political fault lines begin to shift, the government appears keen on projecting a message of unity, stability, and results-driven leadership.
