Lamu Woman Representative Muthoni Marubu has withdrawn her support from the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party, citing political sabotage and ethnic exclusion by Lamu Governor Issa Timamy.

• Marubu, elected as an independent in 2022, had planned to join UDA but has now pulled back, stating, "Neither I, my team nor my political allies will participate in further UDA mobilisation."
• Key figures involved include Lamu Woman Representative Muthoni Marubu and Lamu Governor Issa Timamy, also the Deputy Party Leader of UDA.
• Marubu claims she spent three months mobilising support for UDA across Lamu, holding 42 grassroots meetings, but received no support from the governor.
