The disclosure by former Labour Cabinet Secretary Kazungu Kambi that he intends to establish a new political party signals a fresh attempt to reshape the Coast’s political landscape ahead of the 2027 General Election, amid growing efforts by regional leaders to rally voters behind President William Ruto’s re-election bid.
Mr Kambi has revealed that he discussed his plans with President Ruto during a meeting at State House in July. The meeting had initially sparked debate when photographs of the two were shared on social media, weeks after the former Kaloleni MP met Democracy for the Citizens Party leader Rigathi Gachagua in Kwale in a delegation of Mijikenda leaders.
