Thursday, December
04, 2025 - Chama Cha Kazi party leader, Moses Kuria, has spoken out
following Makadara MP, George Aladwa’s public rejection of his offer to serve
as running mate in the 2027 Nairobi gubernatorial contest.
Kuria alleged that Aladwa’s decision was influenced by
“powerful offices.”
In a statement on social media, the former Cabinet Secretary
expressed disappointment over the development, claiming that Aladwa had been
summoned and directed to denounce the agreement.
“George Aladwa was summoned last evening by holders of
extremely powerful offices and ordered to denounce our agreement on Nairobi
Governor ticket.”
“I respect his decision,” Kuria stated.
Kuria, who previously served as a presidential adviser,
urged those he described as political forces to “relax,” insisting that his bid
for Nairobi Governor was aimed at rescuing what he termed as a “collapsing
city.”
He added, “I want to tell those forces to relax. I want to
be Governor of Nairobi to save this collapsing city.”
“But it’s not life and death affair for me.”
On November 30th, Kuria had shared a campaign
poster naming Aladwa as his running mate, signaling a possible alliance between
Chama Cha Kazi and ODM.
However, Aladwa dismissed the announcement on December 2nd,
declaring that his intention is to vie for the Nairobi Governorship under ODM.
“I have said that I will not be Moses Kuria’s deputy, I will
be vying for the Nairobi gubernatorial seat under the ODM party in 2027,”
Aladwa affirmed.
