Ruto breaks silence on UDA party wrangles

President Ruto has weighed in on the recent wrangles witnessed in the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party.

Speaking on Friday, August 2 in Baringo County, the president called for an end to the leadership wrangles in the party.

President Ruto pointed out that the UDA party infighting was undermining peace and called on UDA officials to stop unnecessary competition.

“There is no need for petty competition even within our UDA party. I want to tell them to stop the chaos. Let us stop internal competition within the party and ensure that we unite all Kenyans to move our nation of Kenya forward,” said President Ruto.

His remarks come after The UDA National Executive Committee (NEC) kicked out Cleophas Malala from the Secretary-General position and appointed UDA Vice Chairperson Hassan Omar to act in the position on an interim basis.

“The National Executive Committee has determined to designate the Vice-Chairperson, Hon. Hassan Omar Hassan to act as the Secretary-General on an interim basis. The appointment of Hon. Cleophas Malala as the interim Secretary General is hereby revoked. These changes are effective immediately,” UDA said in a statement.

Malala’s removal followed drama at the UDA party headquarters in Ngong Road, Nairobi on Tuesday where lawyer Khalende declared himself the new secretary general.

Khalende accused Malala of abandoning his duties and supporting agendas that contradicted the party.

On Wednesday, July 31, supporters of Malala stormed the UDA party headquarters to show him support.

Police were forced to intervene and drive away the rowdy supporters who tried to gain access to the offices on Ngong Road, Nairobi.
