Nakuru Town East parliamentary aspirant dismisses claims of vying for Elburgon MCA seat, accuses rivals of propaganda
Read Time:2 Minute, 57 Second
Nakuru Town East parliamentary aspirant Benard Nguruna has dismissed claims circulating on social media alleging that he has abandoned his MP bid in favor of vying for the Elburgon Ward MCA seat.
In a statement, Nguruna termed the claims as baseless propaganda aimed at misleading the public and tarnishing his image.
A digitally manipulated campaign poster bearing his image has been widely shared online, falsely stating that he has decided to contest for the Member of County Assembly (MCA) position in Elburgon, Molo Sub-County.
Additionally, accompanying messages suggest that he has faced political rejection and is struggling to gain support due to alleged past controversies.
However, Nguruna has rubbished these claims, stating that his political focus remains on Nakuru Town East, where he is determined to bring leadership that will address the constituency’s most pressing issues.
Speaking to Nakuru Times, Nguruna reassured his supporters that he has not shifted his political ambitions.
“Let me be very clear, I am fully committed to vying for the Nakuru Town East MP seat. Any claim that I have stepped down to contest in Elburgon Ward is pure propaganda. Elburgon is in Molo Sub-County, and it has nothing to do with my ambitions. Those spreading these lies should stop misleading the public,” he stated.
There have also been attempts to link Nguruna to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), with claims that he is running under the ruling party’s ticket.
However, the businessman and politician clarified that he has not yet declared his political party and urged his opponents to stop associating him with any party without facts.
“I have seen people claiming that I am in UDA, yet I have never made any official declaration about my party of choice. When the right time comes, I will announce my preferred political vehicle. Until then, let’s focus on the issues that matter,” Nguruna said.
He, however, acknowledged that he had previously played a major role in mobilizing UDA membership registrations across Nakuru County but stated that he no longer holds any leadership position within the party.
Another claim being used to discredit Nguruna is his promise to provide two ambulances, one designated for men and another for women, to serve Nakuru Town East residents. Detractors have mocked the idea, terming it unrealistic and an empty campaign promise.
Nguruna, however, reaffirmed his commitment to delivering on this healthcare initiative, saying it is part of his broader plan to improve medical services in the constituency.
“Those mocking the ambulance initiative clearly do not understand the healthcare challenges our people face. This project is well thought out and will be implemented to improve emergency response services. My goal is to ensure that every resident has access to quality medical care, including proper transport to health facilities when needed,” he explained.
Nguruna and his supporters believe that the false claims are part of a well-orchestrated smear campaign by political rivals who feel threatened by his growing popularity.
“This is not the first time we are seeing such propaganda. It is a sign that some people are uncomfortable with the growing support we are receiving from the people. Instead of engaging in clean politics, they have chosen lies and deceit. But we will not be distracted. We remain focused on the bigger goal, delivering leadership that truly serves the people of Nakuru Town East,” he said.
His supporters have also taken to social media to counter the propaganda, urging residents to ignore the fake narratives and rally behind Nguruna’s development agenda.
