Consolata Nabwire has been sworn in as a nominated Senator in Kenya's 13th Parliament, replacing Gloria Orwoba. Orwoba was expelled by the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party due to misconduct and disloyalty, a decision upheld by the High Court.

• Consolata Nabwire officially took her seat after being gazetted by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on August 15.
• Gloria Orwoba's expulsion stemmed from allegations of misconduct and violating the UDA's code of conduct, specifically her public endorsement of former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi.
• The High Court dismissed Orwoba's petition challenging her removal on August 13, ruling that the UDA acted within its constitutional rights to discipline its members.
