A group of UDA leaders from the Mount Kenya region are demanding the immediate resignation of party Secretary General Hassan Omar within 48 hours.

• The leaders have threatened to petition party leader President William Ruto to remove Omar if he does not step down voluntarily.
• Key figures leading the push include Thika Town MP Alice Ng'ang'a and Kiambaa MP John Njuguna Kawanjiku.
• The ultimatum comes after Omar allegedly made "inflammatory" remarks targeting the Mount Kenya region, which were followed by an apology deemed "insincere" by the MPs.

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has stated that President William Ruto's administration's development record will be the deciding factor in the 2027 General Election, dismissing what he termed as "empty rhetoric" from the opposition.

• The Kenya Kwanza administration is focusing on infrastructure, electricity, markets, and the blue economy to transform livelihoods.
• Kindiki highlighted a Sh1.8 billion allocation to connect 15,300 households in Kwale County to electricity.
• He also mentioned the Sh2.6 billion Shimoni Fish Port as a major blue economy investment.

The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party has publicly called out former President Uhuru Kenyatta, accusing him of actively undermining President William Ruto's administration.

• UDA officials, including party chair Governor Cecily Mbarire and Secretary General Hassan Omar, sent a letter to Mr. Kenyatta.
• They allege Mr. Kenyatta is behind efforts to incite political hostility and instability against the current government.
• UDA dismissed Mr. Kenyatta's recent criticisms of the Kenya Kwanza Government as driven by bitterness over the 2022 election results and a desire for a political comeback.
