Speaking during a television interview on TV 47, Kiura argued that the assumption of Kenyatta playing a kingmaker role for the opposition is fundamentally flawed.
Kiura stated that the former head of state holds very little sway in the upcoming electoral contest.
He suggested that political observers and the public should not overly concern themselves with the retired president's pronouncements.
According to the analyst, any belief that Kenyatta possesses the necessary political capital to help the United Opposition unseat the current administration is a fallacy.
Furthermore, Kiura addressed the perceived political rivalry between Kenyatta and his successor, President William Ruto.
The expert emphasized that moving toward the next election cycle, Kenyatta's influence is not a factor that political players should take seriously.
The remarks come amid ongoing political realignments and discussions about the future of the opposition coalition.
Kenyatta has occasionally made public calls for national unity but analysts are divided on whether these calls translate into tangible voting blocs.
Kiura’s assessment suggests that the former president's political era has effectively concluded, and his endorsement may no longer carry the weight it once did in previous election cycles.
The discussion shows the shifting dynamics as new political formations take shape ahead of 2027.
