UDA Manages By-Election Strategies Amid Internal Disputes and Member Changes - August 2025
The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) is prioritizing consensus and establishing a dispute resolution committee to manage upcoming by-election nominations for vacant seats, with a goal of reducing internal conflicts ahead of the September 20 nominations. In Malava, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi is actively campaigning for UDA in the November by-elections, urging residents to reject Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP). Meanwhile, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) replaced Senator Gloria Orwoba with Consolata Wakwabubi as a nominated senator for UDA, following Orwoba's expulsion from the party for misconduct and disloyalty. The party also faces internal dissent, as the suspension of Githunguri MP Gathoni Wamuchomba has sparked outrage among UDA women leaders, who accuse President William Ruto of betrayal.
