Theuri's move to ODM comes as political parties continue to organise and expand their networks ahead of the 2027 General Election.

Born and raised in Umoja’s Eastlands estate, Theuri was elected as Umoja One councillor in 2007. 

The former lawmaker had previously been associated with the Jubilee Party and United Democratic Alliance, according to election records. In the 2022 election, he contested the Embakasi West seat on a United Democratic Alliance ticket.

In 2013, he became the first Embakasi West MP under The National Alliance Party.

Theuri beat ODM’s Brian Weke after garnering 40,606 votes against his 35,333.

In 2017, he was re-elected under the Jubilee Party, beating Tom Agimba of ODM with 47,848 votes, against Agimba's 30,983 votes.
