Youth in Kericho County have expressed their frustration with the UDA party by demolishing its symbol, the yellow wheelbarrow, on two occasions. This act reflects ongoing dissatisfaction with President William Ruto's administration.

The wheelbarrow was first brought down during the 2024 Gen Z protests against the Finance Bill.
Kipchebor MCA Erick Bett defended the wheelbarrow as a "revered symbol" of the UDA and vowed to protect it.

The Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP) Deputy Party Leader Cleophas Malala has been ordered to pay Sh305,000 in legal costs after losing a court case regarding his removal from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

Malala was directed to pay Sh155,660 to UDA and Sh150,000 to its chairperson, Cecily Mbarire.
The High Court dismissed Malala's appeal, affirming that he was no longer the Secretary-General of UDA.
Malala argued that his ouster was politically motivated and a response to his criticisms of the party's leadership.
