Former Law Society of Kenya President Nelson Havi has resigned from President William Ruto's United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, effective November 7, 2025. This move comes as he prepares for a likely bid for the Westlands parliamentary seat in 2027, having previously lost in the 2022 general election.

• Nelson Havi stated his resignation was in accordance with Section 14 of The Political Parties Act, Cap 7D.
• He announced his decision to appease the People of Westlands, who reportedly conditioned their support on him leaving UDA and rejoining ODM.
• The resignation coincides with incumbent Tim Wanyonyi's anticipated shift to contest the Bungoma gubernatorial seat in 2027.
