MP Ditches Kalonzo’s Wiper Party for Ruto’s UDA

A Member of Parliament from the Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM-K) party has joined President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

Charles Ngusya Nguna, the MP for Mwingi West made the switch on Friday during a State House visit.

Nguna was first elected in 2017 on the Democratic Party (DP) ticket and served his first term as MP until 2022. He was later re-elected as MP for Mwingi West on the Wiper Democratic Movement party ticket in August 2022 and served until 2025.

On October 10, after meeting Lower Eastern leaders at State House in Nairobi, President Ruto applauded Nguna for his bold decision to switch parties in order to promote development in his constituency.

“I specifically thank Mwingi West MP Charles Ngusya Nguna for Mwingi West for his bold move to join our team to push forward the development agenda in his constituency,” he said.

During the meeting, Nguna urged Mwingi West residents to get ready for Ruto’s events and development projects in the region.
