President William Ruto has promised United Democratic Alliance (UDA) aspirants free, fair, and credible nominations for the 2027 General Election. The party has seen over 12,000 politicians apply for its ticket, generating Kshs 31.82 million in registration fees. Despite high interest, the UDA is experiencing dwindling interest from political bigwigs in Mt Kenya, raising concerns for President Ruto's re-election strategy. In a related political shift, EALA MP Kanini Kega has joined Rigathi Gachagua's Democracy for the Citizens Party (DCP), a move announced by former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua on Wednesday.
