Ichung’wah, in remarks that are likely to intensify political temperatures ahead of the 2027 General Election dismissed what he portrayed as Uhuru’s political influence and warned that Kenyans were no longer willing to embrace ethnic-based politics.
His comments come amid growing speculation over possible opposition alliances and the emergence of several prominent figures seeking to position themselves for the next presidential contest.
The National Assembly Majority Leader appeared to draw a line between the political approaches of the past and what he described as Kenya’s need to move beyond tribal mobilisation.

He argued that Kenyans should reject attempts to revive what he called the politics of ethnic identity.
The remarks are particularly significant because both Matiang’i and Sifuna have featured prominently in discussions surrounding the opposition’s possible 2027 presidential line up.
Recent political commentary has also linked Sifuna’s growing profile to former President Uhuru Kenyatta and other opposition figures.
Ichung’wah’s statement is therefore likely to fuel fresh debate within political circles especially as parties and political movements continue searching for alliances capable of challenging President William Ruto.
With the 2027 election approaching, accusations of tribal politics are expected to remain a major battleground.
