Gavana wa Murang'a Irungu Kang'ata atangaza kuacha UDA mwaka 2027

Gavana wa Kaunti ya Murang'a, Irungu Kang'ata, ametangaza kuwa hatatetea kiti chake chote katika chama cha United Democratic Alliance (UDA) katika uchaguzi wa 2027. Maamuzi haya yametangazwa saa chache tu baada ya mkutano na Rais William Ruto wakati wa ziara yake huko Murang'a leo, Mei 3, 2026. Aidha, amethibitisha kuwa atatafuta kuchaguliwa tena kama gavana.

Gavana Irungu Kang'ata alifanya mkutano na waandishi wa habari leo, Mei 3, 2026, akisema maamuzi yake yametokana na shinikizo kutoka ndani na nje ya chama cha UDA pamoja na jitihada za kusuluhisha tofauti.

Alisema alikuwa na mazungumzo ya wazi na Rais William Ruto lakini hayakuletea makubaliano kamili. “Baada ya kutafakari kwa uangalifu, nataka kusema kuwa mwanzoni mwa 2027, sitatetea kiti changu kwenye tikiti ya chama cha sasa,” alisema Kang'ata.

Anasema atatangaza jukwaa lake la kisiasa baadaye na atabaki mwanachama mwaminifu wa UDA hadi mwisho wa kipindi hiki. “Nitaendelea kuwa mwaminifu kwa Rais na kwa chama kupitia kipindi hiki kilichobaki,” aliongeza.

Tangazo hili linafanyika wakati viongozi wengi kutoka eneo la Mlima Kenya wakibadili uaminifu wao, na Kang'ata akawa wa kwanza kutangaza hadharani. Alishiriki na Ruto katika ibada ya kanisani na sherehe za miradi huko Murang'a leo.
