The poor performance by United Democratic Alliance (UDA) in the recent by-elections and its subsequent withdrawal from the upcoming Juja Constituency mini-poll has exposed the soft underbelly of the party associated with Deputy President William Ruto.

As UDA was trying to come to terms with the losses, its stalwart, Kimilili MP Didmus Barasa, announced he was temporarily disassociating with the Tangatanga wing of the Jubilee Party that is led by the DP.
