The newly elected Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) for Evurore and Muminji wards in Mbeere North Constituency, Embu County, took their oath of office on Wednesday, March 4, 2026.
Duncan Muratia Nyaga and Peterson Njiru Njeru (also known as Weche) officially assumed their roles in the Embu County Assembly. The swearing-in ceremony marked the end of by-elections held on February 26, 2026, where the United Democratic Alliance (UDA)Â secured strong victories in both wards.
In Evurore Ward, Duncan Muratia Nyaga won with 7,853 votes. He beat Albert Muchira of the Democratic Party, who received 1,940 votes.
In Muminji Ward, Peterson Njiru Njeru gathered 3,207 votes. Boniface Ngari of the DEB Party came second with 2,232 votes. The by-elections followed the resignation of the previous MCAs, who left their seats to contest other positions.
The Muminji and Evurore ward seats in Embu County fell vacant after their MCAs – Newton Kariuki (Muminji, elected on Devolution Empowerment Party) and Duncan Mbui (Evurore) – resigned to contest the Mbeere North parliamentary by-election in November 2025, which they lost to the incumbent Leo Wa Muthende.
