On his part President Ruto said his administration will work with all leaders from across the political divide to transform our economy and uplift millions of Kenyans, especially those at the bottom of the economic pyramid.
The following day the politicians led by governor Kidero were officially received to the ruling UDA party by Secretary General Cleophas Malala who also presided over the folding of six affiliate political parties to join UDA party. The parties including Farmers Party, National Agenda Party, Economic Freedom Party, Chama Cha Mashinani and others will now operate under the UDA umbrella.
Speaking during the event held at the UDA offices along Ngong Road, Dr. Kidero sensationally claimed that “Anybody who is not in UDA is not a leader in Luo Nyanza,”
