Kindiki and Mudavadi Face By-Election Test for UDA in Mbeere and Malava - October 2025
Deputy President Kithure Kindiki and Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi face a critical test in the upcoming November by-elections for the Mbeere North and Malava constituencies. Their ability to secure victories for the ruling UDA party is considered a significant indicator of their political influence ahead of 2027. This task is described as a significant political litmus test for both leaders. In separate remarks, Deputy President Kindiki accused the previous administration of marginalizing Northern Kenya in development and public services, particularly regarding access to identification documents. He highlighted the current government's efforts to reverse this historical neglect through infrastructure projects and improved public services.
