Kiama Kia Mwangi Member of Parliament Ndindi Nyoro has denied a claim by Senator Methu that talks about the Democratic Congress Party (DCP) took place at a hotel, according to The Star, Kenya.
The exchange is the latest flashpoint in a rivalry that The Star, Kenya reports could reshape politics in the Mount Kenya region. Nyoro also responded after Methu branded him a mole for President William Ruto, People Daily reports.
The dispute has drawn in a wider argument about loyalty inside Kenya's opposition. A Gachagua ally named opposition moles and linked them to Ruto, according to Kenyans.co.ke. The Eastleigh Voice reported that claims of "moles" and betrayal are rocking a united opposition bloc ahead of a 2027 showdown with Ruto.
The Star, Kenya frames the Nyoro–Methu contest as one with consequences beyond the two men, given Mount Kenya's weight in national elections. The competing accounts of the hotel meeting remain disputed, with Nyoro rejecting Methu's version.
Because the underlying reporting provides limited detail, the precise timing, venue and participants of the alleged talks remain unclear from the material available.
What to watch next: whether the opposition bloc addresses the mole allegations publicly, and whether the Nyoro–Methu rivalry hardens into a wider contest for the Mount Kenya vote before 2027.
