Makadara MP George Aladwa has dismissed reports that there will be elections during the upcoming National Delegates Conference (NDC), clarifying that the party already concluded its internal electoral processes and will instead focus on consolidating its position ahead of 2027.
Aladwa said the party is preparing for its NDC scheduled for the March 27 but maintained that delegates should not expect any fresh contests.
“There will be no elections during the NDC for 2027. Matters election, we were done with in Mombasa and all the delegates were present during the NEC,” he stated.
His remarks come against the backdrop of mounting pressure from a section of leaders and supporters who have been calling for internal polls, with some publicly pledging to attend once the NDC is formally convened.
However, Aladwa insisted that the matter of elections was conclusively handled earlier through the party’s established organs.
“We are waiting for our NDC meeting that is to happen next month date 27. I know people are eager to know what is entailed in the NDC,” he said.
According to the legislator, the National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting held in Mombasa settled the electoral question, with delegates endorsing resolutions that would guide the party going forward.
He disclosed that subsequent deliberations were conducted by the party’s central committee and resolutions were ratified.
“We later had a meeting with the central committee that was held in Pwani, and all that were approved, are what we will follow,” he said.
Aladwa’s statement aimed at calming internal tensions and countering narratives that the upcoming NDC would reopen leadership contests. He framed the conference as a platform for strengthening unity and reaffirming the party’s political direction.
In a clear signal of continued alignment with the current administration, the MP reiterated the party’s commitment to the broad-based government arrangement under President William Ruto.
“To us, the party is bigger than an individual. We say that is where Baba left us, that is where we are in, the broad-based with President William Ruto,” Aladwa said.
The MP’s remarks suggest that the upcoming NDC will primarily serve as a consultative and policy-guiding forum rather than a battleground for internal power struggles.
By emphasising that all electoral matters were finalised in earlier meetings, Aladwa sought to project an image of procedural order and institutional continuity within the party.
As anticipation builds ahead of the conference, attention will likely focus on the resolutions to be adopted and how they position the party within Kenya’s evolving political configuration.
For now, party members have been urged to rally behind the decisions already made and to approach the NDC as a unifying moment rather than a contest for control.
