Kenya’s High Commissioner to India, Ambassador Peter Munyiri, has joined the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) and plans to run for Nyeri governor in 2027, according to party leader Rigathi Gachagua.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, October 21, Gachagua said Munyiri had visited him at Wamunyoro and decided to return to Kenya to serve the people of Nyeri County.
“Economist Peter Munyiri has served as Kenya’s Ambassador to India and has informed me of his decision to return home to serve the people of Nyeri County as its 5th Governor.
“He has aligned himself with the wishes of the people of Nyeri and will seek the position under the DCP Party,” Gachagua wrote.
Gachagua urged Munyiri to build his profile in the county ahead of the party primaries, which he said would take place in late March next year.
“I have welcomed him to the party, assured him of free and fair nominations, and encouraged him to popularize himself on the ground in preparation for the party primaries to be held in late March next year,” he noted.
Munyiri was the second guest Gachagua hosted at Wamunyoro since returning to Kenya after a nearly two-month tour of the United States.
