Democracy for the Citizen Party Nairobi patron, Irungu Nyakera, has distanced himself from calls to impeach Governor Johnson Sakaja, urging respect for the choice made by Nairobi voters in the 2022 General Election.
Nyakera, who has been seen as a potential political beneficiary if the governor were removed from office, said democracy must be safeguarded even when voters’ decisions turn out to be challenging.
“While I would naturally stand to benefit if Governor Sakaja were impeached, I do not support it. Nairobians freely chose him in 2022, and democracy demands that we respect that choice, even when it proves difficult,” Nyakera said.
The former PS, however, challenged Sakaja to put aside “PR and theatrics” and dedicate his remaining two years to delivering on his campaign pledges.
“To Nairobians: let this be a lesson ahead of 2027—leadership is about proven ability, integrity, and accountability. Let’s choose better in 2027,” he added.
