Businessman and politician Bundotich Zedekiah Kiprop, known as Buzeki, a former fierce critic of President William Ruto's administration, has officially joined the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party. This move marks a significant political shift for Buzeki, who has twice unsuccessfully contested the Uasin Gishu governorship.

• Buzeki was received at UDA headquarters on Thursday, where he praised President Ruto's administration as transformative.
• In the 2022 general elections, Buzeki, running as an independent candidate, garnered 127,013 votes in the Uasin Gishu gubernatorial race.
• Hassan Omar, UDA Secretary General, welcomed Buzeki, stating his arrival would contribute to the party's "two-term" aspirations.
