James Karanja Nyoro[1] is an agricultural expert and economist trained at the University of Nairobi and London Wayne College.
He became the third governor[2] of Kiambu County[3] after the impeachment of Ferdinand Waititu A.K.A Baba Yao.
In 2016, Nyoro was appointed as an advisor to the government on matters of Agriculture and Policy.
In the run-up to the 2017 polls, Nyoro declared interest to unseat the former governor Kabogo.
He, however, dropped his bid in support of Governor Ferdinand Waititu[4] after an agreement under the United for Kiambu Alliance.
