Thursday, January 22,
2026 - Former Kigumo Constituency Member of Parliament, Jamleck Kamau, has
announced that he is stepping back from active politics, citing reasons beyond
his control.
In a statement issued on Thursday, January 22nd,
Kamau thanked his supporters for their continued loyalty and assured them that
he will remain engaged with them despite his absence from the political
frontline.
“Due to reasons beyond my control, I have decided to take a break
from active politics.”
“I want to specifically thank all my supporters and assure you that
I will continue engaging and consulting you as we move forward,” he
said.
Kamau, who served as Kigumo MP for two terms between 2007
and 2017, emphasized that his retreat from politics is temporary, promising a
comeback in the near future.
“Be back soon. God bless you all, and God bless this our country,
Kenya,” he added.
The former lawmaker contested the Murang’a gubernatorial
seat in the 2022 General Elections on a Jubilee Party ticket but lost to UDA’s
Irungu Kang’ata.
In June 2025, he joined Rigathi Gachagua’s Democracy for
Citizens Party (DCP), where he was welcomed as a key member.
Kamau has expressed interest in vying for the Murang’a Governorship
again in 2027 under the DCP banner.
His announcement comes amid turbulence within Gachagua’s
party.
Just days earlier, Juja MP, George Koimburi, declared that he
had ditched DCP, accusing Gachagua of betrayal despite his loyalty during the
former Deputy President’s impeachment.
Kamau’s decision to step back adds a new twist to Murang’a’s
political landscape as the countdown to the 2027 elections begins.
