Rumors are circulating about a potential secret meeting between Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and President William Ruto, sparking speculation about Musyoka's political future ahead of the 2027 elections.

• The alleged meeting took place in Nairobi.
• Kalonzo Musyoka is the Wiper party leader and a former vice president.
• The central question is whether Musyoka will align with President Ruto or become the opposition's presidential candidate in 2027.

Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi is actively campaigning in Malava, urging residents to reject Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua’s Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP) in the upcoming November by-elections. Mudavadi advocates for supporting the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), emphasizing its governmental backing and established structure for delivering development.

• Mudavadi described DCP as an "inexperienced and untested" party, noting it "is not even a parliamentary party."
• The campaign aims to consolidate the UDA base in Malava, with Mudavadi tasked by the UDA leadership to lead these efforts.
• UDA aspirants David Ndakwa, Shimaka Leonard, Ryan Injendi, and Simon Kangwana have pledged loyalty to the party, promising not to defect if they lose in the nominations and to support the eventual nominee against opposition candidates like Seth Panyako (DAP-K) and Edgar Busiega (DCP).

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has replaced Senator Gloria Orwoba with Consolata Wakwabubi as a nominated senator for the United Democratic Alliance (UDA). This follows Orwoba's expulsion from the party due to misconduct and disloyalty.

• Orwoba was expelled from UDA on May 19.
• The changes were formalized via a notice dated August 15, amending Gazette Notice No. 10537 of 2022.
• Orwoba was accused of publicly supporting former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i, creating a conflict with UDA party leader President William Ruto.
