However, in his Twitter message, the former Minister of Commerce claimed that the Makadara MP was forced to reject his offer.

According to Kuria, Aladwa was called by a person with a powerful office and ordered to denounce their agreement regarding the Nairobi gubernatorial ticket in 2027.

Kuria criticized the people who allegedly forced Aladwa, saying that his intention is to resolve issues affecting Nairobi County.

The former minister said the action of unnamed people who forced Aladwa to change his mind has made him realize what is at stake for Nairobi’s politics before the 2027 General Election.

“George Aladwa was called yesterday evening by very powerful office holders and ordered to reject our agreement on the Nairobi gubernatorial ticket. I respect his decision. I want to tell those forces to calm down. I want to be the Governor of Nairobi to save this falling city. But it is not a matter of life and death for me. Again by doing this you have let the cat out too early. Now we know your game plan for 2027. Thank you very much!” Kuria said.
