DP Kindiki takes over as UDA deputy party leader

Advertisment

Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has officially taken over the deputy party leadership of the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA).

Following a decision by the party’s National Executive Council (NEC) on Monday, November 11, 2024, Kindiki has succeeded the impeached former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua.

The resolution came after UDA Secretary-General Omar Hassan indicated that the party provides that the deputy president becomes the deputy party leader.

In a move which further isolates the disgraced former deputy president, the UDA party has expunged Gachagua’s name from the party leadership following weeks of prolonged court cases challenging his impeachment.

On October 29, 2024, Hassan said Gachagua’s utterances in public which formed the basis of his impeachment by the two houses of Parliament were the reason for his dismissal from the party’s leadership.

“We were moving forward as a party and we had committed to uniting the Kenyans regardless of their ethnicity yet he (Gachagua) is preaching ethnicity and that is why he had to go,” Hassan said.
