Governor Kawira Mwangaza joins UDA

Mwangaza was elected as the Meru governor in 2022 on an independent ticket, after ascending from the Woman Representative position and also as an independent candidate back in 2017.

Meanwhile, the UDA Party's new election board has also been sworn in. The team led by Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) Board Chairperson Anthony Mwaura took the oath of office a day after the National Steering Committee unveiled their names.

Mwaura was sworn in alongside his vice, Veronica Kiberenge, and members; Mary Matinga, Lydia Munika, and Jimmy Kahindi.

The elections are slated to start on April 26, with the first phase in Isiolo, Garissa, Busia, Nairobi, Nark, and West Pokot counties, according to UDA Secretary-General Cleopas Malala.
