Kindiki to Takeover as UDA Deputy Party Leader on Monday
Newly appointed Deputy President Kithure Kindiki is set to be confirmed as the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) deputy party leader on Monday next week.
Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire, who serves as the UDA Chair, announced this new development on Friday, November 1 2024 while speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of DP Kindiki citing the UDA party constitution.
Kithure Kindiki was nominated as the new DP by President Ruto and approved by Parliament after the impeachment of Rigathi Gachagua. Former DP Gachagua was by default the deputy party leader of UDA up until his ouster.
Earlier this week, on Monday, October 21, the UDA party came out and openly denounced Rigathi Gachagua as the deputy party leader. The party, through Secretary General Hassan Omar, said that plans were already underway to expel Rigathi from the party within one week.
