Raila’s Aide Officially Joins Kenya Kwanza

In a significant development for President William Ruto’s United Democratic Alliance (UDA), former Makadara Women Representative, Honorable Elizabeth Ongoro, has officially switched her allegiance to the party. This move was confirmed by the UDA Secretary-General, Cleophas Malala, who shared the news with enthusiasm.

Elizabeth Ongoro’s political journey has seen her transition from the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), where she was elected in 2017, to joining UDA. Her tenure as the Makadara Women Representative lasted until the last year’s August general election when she was unable to retain her seat.

The announcement of her joining UDA was met with a warm welcome from party members and leaders from the Makadara constituency, demonstrating the party’s growing influence in the region.

Cleophas Malala, known for his active role in expanding UDA’s presence in areas traditionally associated with Raila Odinga’s support, extended his greetings to Ongoro, underscoring the party’s unity and appeal.

This development is a significant boost to Ruto’s UDA camp as it reflects a growing trend of leaders willing to collaborate with the new government rather than remain in the opposition. The political landscape has been dynamic, with various parties and coalitions vying for power and influence.
