The Office of the Registrar of Political Parties (ORPP) has confirmed Hassan Omar as the new Secretary General of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), following the removal of Cleophas Malala from the position last week.
In a statement, Political Parties Registrar Ann Nderitu urged UDA to address the issue of interim officials and conduct grassroots elections within six months. Nderitu highlighted that the President William Ruto-led party invoked provisions of Article 38 and Article 8(1)(23) of the UDA constitution, granting the National Executive Committee (NEC) the authority to make changes regarding interim party officials.
On Friday, UDA’s NEC revoked Malala’s appointment as Secretary General and appointed Hassan Omar, the former Vice Chairperson, to the position on an interim basis. Calls for Malala’s removal had been voiced by some party members, accusing him of undermining the party’s agenda and acting as a mole for its opponents.
