Nairobi - Nyandarua Senator John Methu has cast doubt on the commitment of some United Opposition principals to fielding a single presidential candidate in the 2027 General Election, singling out Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro and Jubilee Party leader Fred Matiang'i as figures who could break away from the coalition.

Methu made the remarks during an interview on Citizen TV on Sunday, October 11, accusing President William Ruto of working through Nyoro to destabilise the opposition bloc. He also disclosed that he had personally been approached with a similar offer to form a separate party.
Methu accuses Nyoro of working with Ruto
The senator said he was stunned to learn that Nyoro had established his own party, noting that Nyoro had previously told him that another party in the political landscape was a creation of President Ruto.

"When I heard him say he has a party, I couldn't believe my ears because it is he who told me that another party is a creation of William Ruto. This same offer of forming a party others were given. If I was to name moles, then I think the name Ndindi Nyoro will feature prominently," Methu said.
Methu questions Matiang'i's loyalty
Methu extended his scepticism to Matiang'i, a former Interior Cabinet Secretary, saying he could no longer be certain of where the Jubilee Party leader's loyalties lay.
He pointed to the close working relationship between Matiang'i and Nyoro, including joint political rallies, as grounds for his unease.
"I cannot speak about Matiang'i because I thought I knew him very well. These days, I don't think I know him. If I say Ndindi Nyoro is a mole, what can I say about Matiang'i, and they are friends?" he stated.
The senator stopped short of making a definitive accusation against Matiang'i but made clear that the association with Nyoro had raised serious questions in his mind about the former minister's position within the opposition.
Methu's remarks reflect deepening tensions within the United Opposition as the coalition attempts to consolidate ahead of the next electoral cycle, with the question of a unified presidential candidate remaining a central and contested issue.
