11 Members of Parliament affiliated with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party are reportedly on the brink of parting ways with Deputy President William Ruto as preparations for the 2027 general elections gain momentum. The political landscape in Mt Kenya is witnessing a seismic shift as these MPs, hailing from Meru, allegedly seek a new political path.
According to an exclusive report by Nation Africa on Monday, sources suggest that discontent within the ranks of the UDA has spurred these 11 MPs to explore alternative alliances. The disgruntled members claim that they have been shortchanged within the party, prompting them to consider a strategic move to safeguard their political interests.
What adds an intriguing dimension to this development is the alleged outreach by the Meru MPs to their counterparts in Ukambani, aiming to forge a formidable alliance known as the Eastern Alliance. This prospective coalition could potentially reshape the political landscape in the region, bringing together leaders from different countries to consolidate their influence and address shared concerns.
While details of the Eastern Alliance’s agenda remain undisclosed, political analysts speculate that it might focus on championing regional interests, and economic development, and addressing the grievances that allegedly led to the rift within the UDA Party.
The move is seen as a bold and calculated step by the MPs, indicating a willingness to break away from their current political affiliations in pursuit of a more advantageous position in the upcoming elections. If the reports hold, the UDA Party, led by Deputy President William Ruto, could face challenges in retaining its stronghold in Mt Kenya, a region traditionally considered a political powerhouse.
