The Political Parties Disputes Tribunal (PPDT) has nullified the expulsion of former Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba from the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), deeming the process unlawful and politically motivated. The tribunal ruled that UDA denied Orwoba a fair hearing and that the disciplinary process was marred by procedural flaws.

• The PPDT, led by chair Desma Nungo, found that the hearing against Orwoba was suspended by an interim court order and she was not properly heard.
• The tribunal barred the Registrar of Political Parties (RPP) from deleting Orwoba’s name and ordered UDA to reverse all expulsion steps.
• Orwoba had been expelled on May 19 for misconduct, including attending former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i’s homecoming and criticizing President William Ruto’s labor mobility program.

Raphael Tuju has officially resigned from the Jubilee Party after nearly a decade, a decision he communicated in a letter dated August 19 to Party Leader Uhuru Kenyatta.

• Tuju served as Secretary General of the Jubilee Party from 2016 to 2022.
• He cited feeling he was "no more value" to the party as the reason for his departure.
• Tuju defended President William Ruto's broad government arrangement with Raila Odinga, likening it to the 2018 Handshake, and noted the Gen Z protests of 2024.

Cleophas Malala, Deputy Party Leader of the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP), has invited disgruntled ODM members who skipped a recent Parliamentary Group meeting to join the United Opposition. He specifically appealed to Nairobi Senator Edwin Sifuna, Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, and Saboti MP Caleb Amisi to work together to ensure President William Ruto serves only one term.

• Malala believes the absence of the three legislators from the ODM-UDA meeting and their criticism of President Ruto signifies their alignment with the “Wantam Brigade.”
• The specific meeting they missed was the broad-based government Parliamentary Group meeting earlier this week at Karen.
• Malala highlighted the legislators' consistent criticism of President Ruto over alleged atrocities against Gen-Z demonstrators, including abductions and killings.
