DP Chairman Peter Ndubai
By James Murimi
Democratic Party of Kenya (DP) National Chairman Peter Ndubai has urged Kenyans to use the 2027 General Election to bring about political change by electing leaders who uphold integrity, accountability and responsible governance.
Ndubai said the country needed a new approach to leadership to address persistent challenges, including the rising cost of living, unemployment, corruption, misuse of public resources and poor governance.
In a statement, he maintained that the government must prioritise the welfare of citizens and protect the country’s long-term interests instead of pursuing political survival and personal ambitions.
He said the Constitution places a responsibility on the President to protect Kenya’s sovereignty, security and territorial integrity while safeguarding the rights and freedoms of all citizens.
“Leadership is a sacred public trust. Those entrusted with power must never mortgage the country’s future or compromise its national interests for short-term political gains, personal interests, or the survival of political alliances,” Ndubai said.
The DP chairman criticised what he termed misplaced government priorities, political patronage, intimidation and the growing use of goons in political activities.
He argued that public offices should be occupied by competent and ethical individuals selected on merit rather than political loyalty, sycophancy or involvement in violence.
Ndubai also called for prudent management of public resources, saying government spending should directly improve the living standards of ordinary Kenyans instead of enriching a privileged political class.
With political realignments and campaigns expected to intensify ahead of the 2027 elections, he urged voters to scrutinise candidates and reject leaders who exploit public expectations, promote divisions or misuse state resources.
He called for the election of leaders with practical plans to stimulate economic growth, create jobs, lower the cost of living, combat corruption and strengthen public institutions.
According to Ndubai, safeguarding the country’s future requires citizens to demand transparency from elected officials and ensure that national resources are distributed and utilised for the benefit of all Kenyans.
He described the ballot as the most important constitutional instrument through which citizens can hold leaders accountable and influence the country’s direction.
“The ballot is our constitutional instrument for change,” he said, urging Kenyans to participate peacefully and courageously in the next General Election.
Ndubai maintained that the country’s future would depend on voters making informed decisions and holding those elected to office accountable for their promises and actions.
“Kenya belongs to its people, not to the political class,” he said, calling on citizens to take an active role in shaping the nation’s future through responsible voting.
He concluded by urging Kenyans to embrace collective responsibility in the pursuit of accountable leadership and national progress, declaring: “Our country. Our future. Our responsibility.”
