He said reports suggesting that he has already aligned himself with a specific political party are premature.
The governor also addressed speculation linking him to the Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) or other political formations, stating that no formal decision has been made regarding his future affiliation.
Kang’ata explained that he is currently considering several options as he evaluates his political path ahead of the next election cycle.
Among the possibilities he mentioned are joining another political party or contesting as an independent candidate.
“Currently I have not made a decision. I have many options; I can be an independent candidate, or I can join a political party,” he said.
His remarks come shortly after he confirmed that he will not seek re-election on a UDA ticket, a decision that has sparked widespread political debate and speculation about his next steps.
The announcement marked a significant shift, given his association with the ruling party.
Kang’ata’s clarification now appears aimed at addressing growing public curiosity and political commentary surrounding his future alignment.
He maintained that he is still consulting and reflecting on the best course of action before making any formal declaration.
The governor’s political future has become a subject of interest, particularly in Murang’a County and the wider Mount Kenya region, where shifting alliances are expected to play a key role in shaping the 2027 political landscape.
By keeping his options open, Kang’ata joins a growing list of political figures who are yet to fully declare their positions ahead of the election period.
Analysts note that such flexibility is increasingly common as leaders assess the evolving political environment.
