Saturday, November 2, 2024 – Deputy President Kithure Kindiki is set to be
confirmed as the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) deputy party leader on Monday
as per the UDA party’s Constitution.
This was announced by Embu
Governor Cecily Mbarire, who serves as the UDA Chair, during Kindiki’s
swearing-in ceremony
“The UDA constitution states
that the President will be the party leader and the Deputy President will be
the deputy party leader. We will be holding a National Executive Committee
(NEC) meeting probably as early as Monday, November 4, 2024, to bring him in.”
Kindiki was officially sworn
into office as the country’s new second in command replacing Rigathi Gachagua
after a long-standing court battle that culminated in the High Court lifting
conservatory orders that had barred his swearing-in.
Kithure Kindiki was nominated as
the new DP by President Ruto and approved by Parliament after the impeachment
of Rigathi Gachagua.
Gachagua was by default UDA deputy party leader up until his ouster.
