I WILL JOIN GACHAGUA IN THE MORNING: Molo MP Drops Explosive 2027 Defection Bombshell

Molo Member of Parliament Kuria Kimani has sent shockwaves through the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) by openly declaring that he would immediately jump ship and join former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s political camp if the ruling party loses the 2027 General Election.

Speaking during a candid radio interview, the National Assembly Finance and National Planning Committee chairperson did not hesitate when asked if he would cross over, responding bluntly that he would make the switch “in the morning” should the opposition coalition seize power.

The vocal legislator argued that political parties in Kenya function merely as vehicles of convenience rather than ideological institutions commanding permanent loyalty.

He noted that politicians participate in national polls exclusively to form government and secure administrative influence, observing that nobody spends resources campaigning with the intention of sitting on opposition benches.

According to Kimani, historical trends demonstrate that post-election realignments are driven entirely by the necessity of being on the winning side, regardless of prior political affiliations.

His unvarnished assessment highlights the deep-seated pragmatism and fluid nature of political alliances as the country edges closer to the 2027 ballot.

While serving as a trusted point man for President William Ruto’s economic agenda in Parliament, Kimani’s willingness to openly contemplate a future under Gachagua’s Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) underscores how fragile party discipline remains among elected officials.

Analysts point out that such statements reflect a broader anxiety among incumbent MPs who are hedging their bets against shifting regional dynamics and rising anti-incumbency waves.

Ultimately, Kuria Kimani’s bold confession strips away the facade of permanent party loyalty, exposing the transactional reality of Kenyan electoral politics.

As competing political formations continue to restructure their command posts and recruit heavyweights ahead of 2027, remarks from key financial leaders within the ruling coalition signal that mass defections could follow the immediate aftermath of the vote count.
