Kinanie Member of County Assembly (MCA) Francis Kavyu has officially joined the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), declaring his intention to vie for the Mavoko parliamentary seat in 2027.

Francis Kavyu's defection is a significant boost for UDA in the Ukambani region, traditionally an opposition stronghold.
Kavyu was received by UDA National Organising Secretary Vincent Musyoka Kawaya.
This move occurs as UDA faces recent high-profile defections, including from Nyandarua Governor Kiarie Badilisha and Murang'a Governor Irungu Kang'ata, while also attracting leaders like former Samburu Woman Representative Maison Leshoomo.
