UDA Party Designates Deputy President Kithure Kindiki as Deputy Party Leader
The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party has officially appointed Kenya’s Deputy President, H.E. Kithure Kindiki, as its Deputy Party Leader, a move that further solidifies his prominent role within the ruling political party.
The decision, announced by the UDA Party National Executive Committee (NEC), takes effect immediately. This elevation of Deputy President Kindiki underscores his central position in the party’s leadership and his growing influence within the political landscape.
Kindiki, a seasoned politician and legal expert, has long been seen as a key ally of President William Ruto. His new role as Deputy Party Leader is expected to enhance his political influence, especially ahead of future elections, and solidify UDA’s internal cohesion.
In a statement issued after the announcement, UDA Secretary-General praised Kindiki’s leadership and strategic vision, emphasizing that his appointment will help advance the party’s agenda of national unity and economic empowerment, encapsulated by the party’s signature slogan, “Kazi ni Kazi.”
The move is also seen as a strategic positioning by UDA to ensure a smooth leadership transition in the coming years, with Kindiki being viewed as a key figure for the party’s long-term growth.
The announcement was well-received by UDA members and political observers, with many seeing it as a clear signal of continued unity and a strong political future for the party.
