The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has replaced Senator Gloria Magoma Orwoba with Consolata Nabwire Wakwabubi under the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party. This decision was formalized in a Gazette notice dated August 15, 2025, following Orwoba's expulsion from UDA in May 2025.

• Orwoba was expelled from UDA due to allegations of disloyalty and violating the party’s code of conduct, specifically for attending events of former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i and criticizing government policies.
• The change was confirmed by IEBC Chairperson Erastus Edung Ethekon, and Orwoba’s name was deleted from the Senate’s Second Schedule.
• Senate Speaker Amason Kingi declared Orwoba’s seat vacant, prompting the IEBC to appoint Wakwabubi as her replacement.

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has officially replaced Gloria Orwoba with Consolata Nabwire Wakwabubi as the United Democratic Alliance's (UDA) nominated senator through a Gazette Notice dated August 14.

• The IEBC's decision follows Orwoba's removal from the UDA due to her shift in allegiance and attendance at opposition rallies, leading to the termination of her party membership.
• Wakwabubi, a party nominee from Bungoma County and originally on UDA's 2022 party list, will assume Orwoba's former slot.
• The replacement comes after Orwoba lost a court battle against the UDA party, with Justice Lawrence Mugambi dismissing her case on grounds of misusing court processes.
