DP Kindiki hints at plan to Kick out Cecily Mbarire from UDA after the heckling of President Ruto
The ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) plans to Kick out Cecily Mbarire from the party after the heckling of President Ruto in Embu
The ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) plans to Kick out Cecily Mbarire from the party after the heckling of President Ruto in Embu.
This follows Deputy President Kithure Kindiki’s suggestion of the possible removal of Embu Governor Cecily Mbarire from her role as the party’s national chairperson.
Speaking on Thursday, January 30, Kindiki accused Mbarire of failing to protect President William Ruto from public heckling during his recent visit to Embu town.
“I talked to my sister Cess, the governor of Embu and my longtime political friend. And I asked her, being a UDA governor and the national chairperson of the party, how can the party leader, the president, come to your hometown and be heckled?” Kindiki questioned.
Kindiki further criticized Mbarire, stating that if she could not prevent such incidents, there was little justification for keeping her in the party’s leadership.
“How is that possible? The youth are heckling the president over something he has said that maybe they don’t want to hear. Then what reason do we have to keep you?” Kindiki added.
The tension within UDA follows a similar episode just months ago, when former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua was impeached including by his party members, and subsequently removed from UDA leadership.

Following Gachagua’s exit, UDA merged with Musalia Mudavadi’s Amani National Congress (ANC) to consolidate political influence under a unified political outfit, the United Democratic Alliance Party.
During the event, UDA Chairperson Cecily Mbarire announced that Lamu Governor Issa Timamy, formerly ANC’s party leader, will serve as one of the deputy party leaders in the new political outfit.
Mbarire, who also serves as the Governor of Embu County, further stated that Kelvin Lunani, the former ANC chair, will take on the role of vice-chair in the newly formed party.
Additionally, Emuhaya MP Omboko Milemba, who previously served as ANC’s secretary-general, was appointed as the deputy secretary-general of the new party.
