Molo MP Kuria Kimani has laid bare the truth about party loyalty in Kenya, insisting that politicians will always align with the winning side.
Speaking on a vernacular radio station, Kimani said he would defect to Rigathi Gachagua’s Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) “without hesitation” if it forms government in 2027. “In the morning!” he added, stressing that no politician willingly chooses opposition.
Kimani pointed to Kenya’s history of post‑election realignments, citing the United Democratic Movement (UDM) as an example. Once in opposition, UDM later joined government during Uhuru Kenyatta’s tenure and is now part of Ruto’s administration. “This is a trend that has happened over the years,” Kimani explained.
His remarks highlight a culture where parties are seen as temporary vehicles to power rather than ideological homes. For critics, it exposes opportunism. For supporters, it’s simply political pragmatism. Either way, Kimani’s candor has reignited debate about whether Kenya’s parties stand for principles — or just positions in government.
