President Ruto suffers another blow after UDA (United Democratic Party) members defect to ODM
President Ruto suffers another blow after UDA (United Democratic Party) members defect to ODM.
In Ugunya, Siaya County, some members of the United Democratic Party (UDA) have defected to Raila’s ODM party, ditching the President William Ruto-led party.
Addressing the media on Saturday, January 20, the members called out President Ruto over empty promises.
Maurice Amenya, the chairman of the Ugunja Boda Boda Riders Association, stated that the Kenya Kwanza government’s broken promises are causing suffering for UDA members.
“I am very happy to come back to the ODM party because where I was in UDA, we were really suffering, our President is always saying ‘I have allocated’. We as youth have decided to come back to ODM. We are very happy and we are going to strengthen ODM,” Amenya stated.

Mildred Adhiambo, who also defected, mentioned that she was among the first people to introduce UDA to Ugunja but it was a terrible experience for her.
“I was happy to be with you at the beginning but it became terrible for me I am away from UDA totally. I am back home, I am going to do everything possible to bring my fellows back to ODM,” said Adhiambo.
This comes a day after senior officials of the Pamoja African Alliance (PAA) party associated with Senate Speaker Amason Kingi decamped to the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party.
The officials who were received by Raila at Chungwa House on Thursday accused Speaker Kingi of abandoning them since the Kenya Kwanza coalition formed the government.
They also complained of a lack of inclusivity in the Ruto administration and unkept promises.
