The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) team in Kitui has thrown its full support behind former Kwa Vonza MCA, Mbaki Mbaki, for the position of county UDA chairman in the upcoming party elections. This declaration was made during the Kithumulani Declaration One, where party members and leaders gathered to reaffirm their commitment to strengthening UDA’s presence in the county. Mbaki Mbaki, a seasoned politician with a strong grassroots following, is now positioning himself as the preferred candidate to lead the party at the county level, a move that has been welcomed by many supporters.
This announcement comes at a crucial time, following the official notice from the UDA National Elections Board regarding Phase II grassroots elections. The board has scheduled these elections for April 11th and 12th, 2025, signaling the party’s ongoing efforts to establish strong leadership structures across various counties. Kitui is among the counties preparing for this significant political event, with stakeholders mobilizing support and strategizing ahead of the polls. The elections will be conducted at the polling center level, ensuring that party members at the grassroots have a say in selecting their local leaders.
Mbaki Mbaki’s endorsement marks a critical turning point for Kitui’s UDA leadership, as local leaders emphasize the need for elected and appointed government officials to focus on pulling resources for the region. They urged leaders to prioritize development projects that will benefit residents, rather than getting caught up in political wrangles. With the election date approaching, campaigns and consultations are expected to intensify, shaping the future of UDA in Kitui and influencing the county’s political landscape.
