“Anyone Who Goes Against Kikuyu and Kamba is a Traitor” UDA MP Warns of Plot Against the Two Tribes

Nyali Member of Parliament Mohamed Ali has drawn attention after making remarks about the political relationship between the Kikuyu and Kamba communities ahead of Kenya’s 2027 General Election.

The legislator warned political leaders against taking positions he believes could undermine the interests of the two communities, describing anyone who acts against them as a traitor.

Speaking in Swahili, Ali said, “Yeyote atakayeenda kinyume na jamii za Wakikuyu na Wakamba atakuwa msaliti.” The statement translates to: “Anyone who goes against the Kikuyu and Kamba communities will be considered a traitor.”

His comments come amid growing political discussions about possible alliances, community support and the positioning of influential voting blocs as the country moves towards the next general election.

The Kikuyu and Kamba communities are among Kenya’s major population groups and feature prominently in national political conversations. Their political cooperation or differences are therefore likely to remain subjects of discussion among leaders and political parties.

Ali, who represents Nyali Constituency in Mombasa County, did not identify any particular politician, party or political decision that prompted his remarks. He also did not provide further details about the specific actions he believes would amount to going against the interests of the two communities.

His statement has placed renewed attention on the role of community-based political alliances in the country’s electoral discussions.

As preparations for the 2027 elections continue, the remarks may generate responses from leaders across different political camps, particularly those involved in negotiations and discussions about possible partnerships.

It remains unclear whether other political figures will publicly endorse or challenge the position expressed by the Nyali legislator.
