The National Liberal Party (NLP) held its inaugural and historic National Delegates Conference (NDC) at The Woods Hotel in Kitui, marking a major milestone in the party’s fast-rising political journey. The vibrant event drew over 2,000 delegates from 35 counties, united under the party’s progressive call for inclusive development, transparent leadership, and people-centered governance.
Led by party leader Dr. Augustus Kyalo Muli, the conference was more than a political gathering — it signified the birth of a movement anchored on the principles of dignity, service, and shared prosperity under the rallying call “Maendeleo kwa Wote.”
“We are here to restore the soul of leadership. Not to rule — but to serve. Not to divide — but to build,” declared Dr. Muli, as chants of “Maendeleo kwa Wote!” echoed across the sunlit hotel grounds.
The NDC was a display of cultural pride, spiritual inspiration, and national unity. Top Kamba gospel musicians Ken Kijana (Ndeke ya Muthanga) and Stephen Kasolo uplifted the crowd with moving performances, setting a tone of purpose and revival.
Delegates included youth leaders, women’s groups, retired educators, boda boda operators, and civic activists. Their message was loud and clear: Kenyans are hungry for honest, people-driven leadership. Many expressed frustration with decades of broken promises and vowed to push for a new era of value-based politics.
“Maendeleo kwa Wote” Charter Adopted
During the conference, NLP delegates officially adopted the Maendeleo kwa Wote Charter, committing the party to:
Champion inclusive development across all 47 counties
Engage youth meaningfully in policy formulation
Promote civic literacy, beyond just voter turnout
Uphold integrity and transparency from ward reps to national leaders
“Maendeleo kwa Wote is not just a slogan. It is a covenant — a promise to every forgotten village, every struggling mother, every youth seeking opportunity,” Dr. Muli emphasized to thunderous applause.
The NLP’s growth has been swift and strategic. Just weeks before the NDC, the party launched its 34th branch office in Muangeni, Kitui South, constructed through community volunteerism — reflecting NLP’s grassroots-driven model.
“We are not fighting for power. We are fighting for possibility — for every Kenyan to believe again that leadership can be clean, calm, and courageous,” said one delegate from Makueni County.
As the NLP charts its course ahead of the 2027 general elections, the Kitui conference affirmed its ambition: to transform politics from the ground up and give voice to every Kenyan left behind by traditional political structures.
The birth of the National Liberal Party and its Maendeleo kwa Wote movement may well be the beginning of a powerful new chapter in Kenya’s political story.
