National Assembly Majority Leader Kimani Ichung'wah has emphatically stated his unwavering commitment to the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), vowing never to join the Democracy for Citizens Party (DCP).

• Ichung'wah declared he would rather lose his Kikuyu parliamentary seat than defect to the DCP, which he described as a "small party."
• This statement comes amidst a significant exodus of politicians, particularly from the Mt. Kenya Region, joining the DCP led by Rigathi Gachagua.
• Notable defectors include Murang'a Governor Irungu Kang'ata and Nyandarua Governor Kiarie Badilisha, with others hinting at leaving the UDA.
