The People’s Liberation Party (PLP) is intensifying its grassroots mobilisation in Murang’a County with a planned visit by party leader Martha Karua on Friday, July 31, 2026.
Karua’s itinerary includes stops at key local centres to engage directly with supporters and residents, signalling the party’s commitment to expanding its influence in this vote-rich Mount Kenya region ahead of the 2027 general election.
Tour Schedule in Murang’a
- Start at Kiawanduma Coffee Factory
- Visit Gitugi Shopping Centre and PLP office
- Proceed to Gikoe Shopping Centre
- Conclude at PLP office in Kangema Town
The PLP announced the tour via social media, inviting locals to join Karua at these venues. This outreach forms part of broader efforts by political parties nationwide to consolidate grassroots support as election season approaches.
Strategic Importance of Murang’a
Murang’a has historically been a critical battleground in Mount Kenya politics. Karua, actively involved in the United Opposition and positioning herself as a potential presidential candidate, aims to connect with voters on regional concerns while promoting the PLP’s focus on governance, accountability, and citizen participation.
Earlier this year, Karua affirmed her presidential ambitions, stating that if she is not nominated by a coalition, she intends to run independently rather than accept a deputy position.
The upcoming tour is a clear step in PLP’s strategy to build robust county-level structures and broaden its support base ahead of the 2027 polls.
