The New Democrats Party leader Thuo Mathenge has called on Kenyan political leaders to embrace tolerance and foster unity across party lines, cautioning that increasing political hostility poses a threat to national cohesion.
Addressing supporters during a community engagement forum in Nyeri, Mathenge urged politicians to rise above personal attacks and instead engage in constructive dialogue that prioritizes the interests of the people.
“We must move away from politics of insults and division. Kenya is bigger than any individual or party, and we must safeguard our democracy by promoting mutual respect and tolerance,” he said.
Mathenge emphasized that The New Democrats Party is committed to championing issue-based politics and working with leaders who share the vision of peace, inclusivity, and development.
“Our focus remains on economic recovery, youth empowerment, and strengthening devolution. These are the issues Kenyans care about — not political wrangles,” he added.
