| Pressure William Ruto together With Chama Cha Kazi Party Leader Moses Kuria |
Moses Kuria isn’t buying the narrative that he was planted by the government to scatter votes in Mbeere North during the November 27 by-elections and he’s calling out those pushing the story for what he sees as excuses and political laziness.
According to Kuria, the idea that he or his party, Chama Cha Kazi (CCK), acted as agents of vote-spoiling is nothing more than a convenient scapegoat for candidates who performed poorly and are now hunting for someone else to blame.
He dismissed the claims as empty talking points meant to deflect responsibility rather than confront the real reasons for electoral failures.
He laid out his argument plainly: if he was supposedly deployed to disrupt voting patterns, the numbers simply don’t back that theory.
His candidate, Duncan Mbui, secured 2,480 votes — a figure Kuria says is far too low to justify the uproar or suggest he shifted the outcome in any meaningful way.
In other words, if splitting votes was the mission, it was an incredibly ineffective one.
Kuria also explained that Mbui didn’t come from some secret arrangement.
The candidate had reportedly been sidelined by another political party, and CCK stepped in to offer him a platform.
Kuria says critics should first look inward and explain why they failed to consolidate their own camps before pointing fingers at outsiders.
He further challenged why the blame seems strangely selective.
There were several other candidates in the race, five besides the main competitors, yet none of them are being dragged into this vote-splitting narrative.
Kuria argues that targeting him alone reveals the political bad faith behind the accusations rather than any real concern about electoral interference.
Another point Kuria highlighted was the level of support mobilized by other political players. Big names campaigned aggressively for his opponents.
In contrast, he claims he was the only “outsider” who showed up for Mbui. If anything, he suggests his presence didn’t distort the race, it merely gave his candidate basic visibility against much stronger political machines.
In short, Kuria is pushing back hard and refusing to let anyone pin their election losses on him.
His message is clear: if certain politicians want better results, they should fix their strategies instead of crafting cheap narratives about sabotage.
